The property owners suffering the most are those that have a roof older than 15-20 years, or those that are in flood zones, both of which can be easily mitigated in your search

Best of luck on your property search 

Although that particular deal sold, I’m continuing to search for other opportunities and am excited to work toward my first investment property.

A few good deals are often all it takes for them to see you as a reliable source.When you’re consistently getting solid deals, you won’t even need to search for cash buyers—they’ll come looking for you!

However, I've been searching for newer, cheaper value-adds to student rental properties and have found focusing on outdoor spaces can be a huge draw with much less of the cost of tearing out kitchens, baths, etc.

That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

I already do not like the idea of them because its how banks just make more money from a reset in mortgage.2) I just recently started searching out more local events in my area to see if I can meet local investors with my pitch. 

Thanks everyone... it has been a few weeks of search and showings and we are actually under contract on a home in San Antonio, TX!

When I internet search “residential definition” the first definition is ”designed for people to live in”.
