You need to set some criteria to help identify your "quality deal."

If the house has a septic system, especially if it's an older one, it's worth the investment to have a septic inspection done.This concern is particularly relevant for those planning to buy and hold the property rather than simply fix and sell it.

We use RankBreeze and that helps us identify and track what is working and what we should change.

We've got an LLC set up and identified our PMS and the tools we're going to be using.  

@Nick D.I'd start with identifying what your buy box is for your next property and what you are going to need for a purchase.

Anyone doing this?  Besides lists from the tax assessor, how are you finding your deals?  

I found a few that I liked and Melissa was able to help me quickly identify which ones were best for me and proceed with the purchasing process.

Troy helped me identify properties with strong short-term rental potential, and when we found this home in Palm Harbor, we moved quickly to make a competitive offer.

Start by networking with local investors, identifying target neighborhoods, running numbers on potential deals, and lining up financing so you're ready to act when the right opportunity comes up!

The key is identifying a home that is not cookie-cutter.
