I'm looking to write out mailers so want to be able to narrow down as many groups or types of people as possible.

I have seen many groups or meetups online but am trying to narrow it down to a few of the higher quality ones.

But, you know the address and can narrow the comps to your exact location.Depending on the cost of rehab and the property taxes (is Philly a high prop tax state?)

In order to narrow in on our target market, we were thinking long term of starting our management company early.

@Ryland Taniguchi since you are an agent are you recommending she not listen to you  :)I think you have to quantify the question and the response.Your not an average buyer with only 25k to work with .. your in the business and obviously a developer of some repute and success.. for those with limited capital and competing against guys like you and I.. the realtor is correct its a sellers market.. the issue for these folks also buying off market is they need FHA loans and many houses need to much work to qualify.. so you really are stuck in a narrow window to buy.4 plex househacking for someone with @Angela Jossy capital is one of the best ways to enter the west coast market.. all the other things like buy a sfr or whatever those are folks that don't know the price ranges on the West coast its not that easy for someone with 25k.

I haven't fully narrowed the exact area but I've been looking at Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, and Chandler right now.

You can even narrow down the chances of making serious mistakes with a partner/s, although your paycheck may come a bit short but that's a small price for a quality experience.

Then take time and really narrow down on a focus area and take serious action.

So far i have narrowed my research down to Philadelphia county (chestnut hill area), Montgomery county, Bucks county, Delaware county and Chester county.

I'm hoping narrowing down these criteria will target higher motivated leads and also allow me to include other zip codes I had previously excluded but would like to include.
