Doing it all over again, I would use a investor focused agent.How did you finance this deal?

You definitely wont get an app like that for free, so how much would you be willing to pay to a company to submit it for you, vs spending 10 minutes once a month to submit taxes? 

My name is Jamison Shaw, I am licensed general contractor with over 15 years experience in residential and light commercial construction.

The areas that are appreciating are way over valued and I'm not interested in looking in these areas.

the other one I just had a small 1031 did a tic with one of my long time partners who owned 100 units almost next door ( I brokered him those) so he could have his existing PM take over and we set it up on a 6 year payoff NO cash flow neither of us need cash flow we just want free and clear..

If you were able to build equity over time, it could be smart to sell, pay off your loan, and use the money for another venture (flip, investments, etc) if it is truly bleeding you out.

One strategy is to pursue properties (in your preferred markets) that have been listed for sale for over 90 days (even longer is better).

(which has gotten way, way harder over the last few years.)

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

Working on large-scale data is great b/c sometimes it's all about how many owners you approach daily; the issue with over-the-top details is also getting lost in targeting specific owners and situations, aka focusers/tax liens, etc.
