You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

@Hector Espinosa While cap rates can vary widely from one market/city to another and from one type and class of property to another (and based on the quality of the tenant), I did a quick search on LoopNet for MF properties currently for sale in SD and most "asking prices" suggest cap rates in the 4%-5% range.

You can ask the contractor if he can identify the cause and if so you can bill back the tenant if they are responsible.2.

@Rion Redinger Hi Rion, I don't show a unit until I have a completed application including a pay stub documenting employment and income, a copy of the applicant Driver's License and I will have run public record court searches for all munis and counties listed on the application.

Quote from @Olga Nadal: Here is the situation, we identified 3 properties for our 1031 with the idea of buying two and having a back up.

Good luck with your search.

It's worth reaching out to Corporate Housing Groups (most HR Departments at large employers have this division as well as Relocation Companies that you can find via an internet search) to offer your property as a 30-day furnished rental.

Otherwise search for "rent by the room" lease samples.

I'm unsure how to identify the property is ligament or fake post.
