I'm looking forward to hunting some for myself, but I already feel the pain of my clients' having capital to invest and reasonable criteria but few listings to offer!  

Pain...

When we went to view the property, there were 4 other homes still undergoing renovations after the flood, so that may be why retail buyers aren’t looking to buy (yet) and numbers don't work for investors. 

They are just a pain because they aren't on a nice easy to look at list like MLS. 

Yes, they are trying to prevent a claim on their end, but a saved claim is a financial loss you don't have to have the pain of experiencing too. 

Although it was painful and expensive, knowing we got rid of the old wiring helps me sleep at night.- You may want to think about raising the rents anyway, before doing kitchens and bathrooms.

Find a pain point and offer them a solution - you win. - You must have a good clean web site, a lead magnet (a form to get info from people in exchange for something cool), Facebook pixel and Google analytics at minimum. 

But I haven't met many successful 'self-made' CRE investors who haven't lowered their pain factor, crunched their timeline or increased their learning curve without seeking out a mentor or two on the way.

Getting rid of PMI is certainly good as it's expensive, however, a re-finance just to get rid of PMI is a big pain.

It's a duplex, so one side will be rented while the other side is undergoing rehab.
