I suspect a decent VA could access public records and build a mainling list for you  or check Property Radar and see if there software will do that for you..

You can find decent SFHs in the $150k-$180k range that can cash flow if you buy right.The challenges?

That said, if you can afford it and have the reserves, and more importantly think you have a decent chance of increasing revenue with the vacant units then I'd probably go for it.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

The first 5 should show a variety of spaces, not just multiple shots of your living room or game room, for example. 

Pricing tools that exist on the market are decent, but you also need to know how to control it, otherwise, it will go nuts with unrealistic rates far out and extreme last-minute discounts. 

So, they don't travel as far beyond point of impact.If you can switch to a 12 gauge with bird shot or OOB. 

If you are close to retirement and are accredited, it's safe to assume that you'll likely have some decent, taxable income rolling in during retirement.

At the current cost to build estimate $150/sqft, It appears a 1500-1700 sqft new construction will need to sale for around 399,9k to make a decent profit.
