Use the magnifying glass on local FB groups and search for "housekeeper" and also use the enemy method. 

They'll be in nicer areas which usually means better tenants, S8 tenants aside.You mentioned Detroit, well we use the method above to assist investors in finding properties in better areas.

Does anyone have experience with this method, within this region?  

Use the enemy method! 

I heard being "over leveraged" is a method of asset protection (not personally pushing the strategy).

Seeing with eyes and staying there a  few days would help, also check out using enemy method and also Facebook groups

I still feel the best method is asking other real estate investors in your market (which he does mention in the article). 

Even if the property were absolutely unique, there are still methods for valuing property that a REALTOR or appraiser can help with. 

It's interesting to see how these different methods might apply in a real estate context.

I like the BRRRR method and think I can use that strategy now with the 1 rental property I have.
