We found the Roberts Rd mobile home deal through our partner, Seth Choate, who identified the opportunity and brought it directly to us.

What are the most effective strategies for you, for identifying and analyzing undervalued properties in a competitive real estate market, and how can investors leverage these opportunities to maximize returns while minimizing risks?

It makes no sense and shows how horrendous the "training" is for wholesalers.My “favorite” is the new and inexperienced people who think that they can sit at home, scan a local MLS, somehow identify underpriced properties that every experienced investor and all home buyers and real estate brokers/agents missed, tie up the property with “borrowed” fully refundable  earnest money, no proof of funds, no approval of financing, post their “find” on a real estate website, appropriate someone else’s buyers list, and profit a minimum of $20k per.  

Identify areas with characteristics that will drive demand....accessibility, good schools, neighborhood amenities that improve quality of life (parks & recreation), quality retail/commercial etc. 

Partner on 3 or 4, then head out on your own, but you'll need to identify what you bring to the partnership.

Hi BP colleagues,What tools/software are you using currently to identify the best markets to potentially invest in?

Theming is super important, and also identifying the right resorts where you can find buying opportunities.

Begin by identifying a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable individuals.

Because you've wisely identified that it no longer fits you as a home, and because if you wanted a rental property you could probably get a better one. 

Single family homes usually do not provide the desired cash flow (although appreciation is very solid), and multifamily are too hard to come by because of the lack of supply.If/when you find more info on marketing directly for short-term corporate rentals, I'd be really interested to hear what kind of resources you identify.
