Try networking locally with HML's who know the market. 

Lenders do not look at your personal income or debt and will use the current market rent or lease (up to 120% if the lease is significantly higher than market rent or vice versa) as qualifying income.

Leverage your W-2 income for better loan terms, explore private/hard money for off-market deals, and network with investors to expand your deal flow.Good luck!

I used to think that cold calling was the only way to get off-market deals.

Plus how did he go there he must live there or close so your only working one market.

I see off market properties weekly, talk to investors both new and seasoned daily and I am actively buying myself.

Get familiar with price points in your market and what looks like a good deal. 

I have been very successful in helping clients acquire Airbnb homes and creating themes and uniqueness for their homes to be more appealing and marketable.

Glad to hear the website postings can be a legit source for a deal.

I've finally made the decision to get into the market to Build to Rent.
