Whoever gives me the most business and has an excellent close record will first be presented with off-market opportunities. 

But…what if it was “common local knowledge” but you didn’t know it.

Has anyone used the FuelPoint lead generation platform? I just sat in on a demo and am curious if anyone has experience working with them. It seems like a lot more of these lead-gen groups are popping up. 

As you're just starting out in Austin, focus on learning the local market, particularly areas with good rental demand and lower entry prices.

While markets had anticipated the first rate cuts as early as March or May, those expectations have now shifted to June or September.

We would love to connect with investors, as well as investor-friendly realtors and property managers in the northern Alabama region.Any insights into the local market or recommendations for neighborhoods to explore further would be greatly appreciated.

Quote from @Benjamin Blunt: What are the best strategies or tools that you use to find Off-Market Properties?

I think the locality of every section 8 office matters. 

Its a pretty good market.

Regarding vacancy periods, you'll need to understand, Days On Market (DOM) - or find a great PMC that understands and can explain it to you.
