@Treasure SoeOver the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.One standout method has always been pulling data and feeding it into a call center to generate off-market leads.

I would draw a circle around 30 minutes of you in all directions (not into the water of course) and then 60 minutes and run some data there first before packing your money up to ship off to a market you don't know.

@Josh Oaten I personally do not see a place for a bird dog in the world of large apartment complexes.

Depreciation is typically allocated according to the ownership percentages outlined in the partnership or syndication agreement, which are set in advance and follow certain rules under the tax code.However, some syndication structures can be designed with different classes of partners or special allocations, but these arrangements are subject to complex tax rules, such as the "substantial economic effect" rule under Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

At the end of the day, these carriers are insuring based on risk profile and they are carefully reviewing real time data that tells them whether its a market they want exposure in and how to price that exposure. 

We recently purchased a 6 unit complex that was full and had "good paying tenants."  

Other than that there are websites you should have access to that shows you owner history, % of equity and other helpful data.

It's backed by data from these companies and the rental I have in Denver that I'm doing this on now.

Purchase price: $15,400,000 Cash invested: $125,000 128 unit apartment complex located in Dallas, TX.

If I had to choose, I would always prefer cold calling over texting for this approach.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.
