@John Matthew Johnston 80% of the time, it's a thankless job:(You're never fast enough for complaining tenants, nor fast enough or cheap enough for owners.To have any chance of success, you have to be extremely organized, or every day starts with your hair on fire!

@Harrison Jones  One of the major flaws in your perspective is that it is focused on cheap rent (driving rents down) not affordable housing.

Even if a software is free or cheap, it's the time investment getting things set up and then tweaking it for the first few months that is the real "spend".

All the cheap properties are MAJOR fixer-uppers with no Rent Zestimates - probably because there are not enough rental data points.This one is priced at $135k with only $1,152 Rent Zestimate.

How dang cheap is it?

Midwest cities with populations under 300,000 typically have cheap property taxes.

Finding the correct contact info is hard enough, but if your pitch is that they should sell cheap now, you're misreading the market.Multifamily properties are worth significantly less now than they were just a few years ago, and asking for a further discount due to property condition would probably result in a loss, maybe not even pay off the debt.

@Shawn Mixundefined I agree Kirstin, Anderson isn't cheap but I feel much more confident and secure with them on my side.

its cheap  compared to what you get I found a strict foreclosure in Oregon that their site was on the only one tracking it and we made over 300k on that one deal.
