Nearly a year ago I bought an existing two-bed, one-bath 1,440 sq ft ranch with a two-car garage on 1.4 acres that had fallen into disrepair.

I would literally go out, pick a neighborhood, and walk door 2 door knocking.

I'm a newer investors as well and have a 9 door portfolio in the Midwest across Detroit and Memphis.

Single story, no fence or garages/carport and  3b2b rents for $1500-1800.

The tenant segment we've targeted for over 17 years is families with elementary school-age children and a gross household income between $65,000 and $85,000.The only properties this segment will rent are:Type: Single-familyConfiguration: 3+ bedrooms, 2+ baths, 2+ car garages, 1,100 to 2,400 SF, one or two stories, lot size 3,000 SF to 6,000 SF.Rent range: $1,800/Mo to $2,300/MoLocation: See the map below for the areas where our target tenant segment chooses to live.What has been our results following this process?

We keep the main house separate by locking the door between the bedroom and our living area, so guests only have access to their room.

Have a weird layout property where the front door is on the 2nd floor and there is a set of wooden stairs to get up there.

I assume that  if you knock on the door they are not going to be receptive to your request to vacate.
