My two most recent STR investors/buyers went above and beyond with their listings.

When I listed this property last yeear I had it rented in about 5 days.

They list only either the opening bid for the property they are auctioning off ($50,000) or they don't list a number at all3.

Find a wholesaler and get on their mailing list as well not just realtors.

Find the REIA group for your areaAs Henry noted, post something specific for your area and tag your market.Get on Loopnet for your area and property type, reach out to the brokers that are listing deals and offer to take to coffee (they are often invested in deals too but you could ask for connections to other operators that might be getting started).And, again as Henry noted, each person you meet, ask them what other networking events they have attended that you can put on your list.

Ethan, how is Detroit not on this list?

The list comes out at least 30 days before the sale and the owners have opportunities to pay off the debt anytime in those 30 days. 

Found it on Zillow the first day it was listed, and got under contract same day (offered over asking).

I will be listing for $495,900.

If you research recent sales you can always provide the appraiser a list of those sales.One of the best ways to insure a higher value is to update the property using materials and fixtures that are popular and common in the area.
