If they don't do it, they probably have friends and colleagues who do. 

Focus on potential profit margins and market trends.Be Local: Understanding micro-markets within these neighborhoods can mean the difference between a good flip and a great one.Network: Partner with investor-friendly agents, contractors, and wholesalers who know how to find and secure off-market deals.Nashville's real estate market continues to thrive, and these neighborhoods are at the center of the action.

Density is also your friend.

@Jeff Sitti  I hope you are a true friend to this person.    

Louisiana is also a very landlord friendly state and that doesn't hurt either.I have been looking at the rental data in New Orleans lately and it seems like there may be a surplus of rentals available, most likely due to the STR rules causing people to switch to regular long-term rentals.

If your place is uninhabitable, tenants can end the lease or withhold rent until it’s livable, but I like to keep things friendly by offering a temporary rent reduction or helping them find a short-term solution.

I also work a full time W2 and have 3 kids in sports, so time is not always my friend.

I have some friends looking for a PM in Cleveland right now.

I have no affiliation (or ever heard of them until today) but they are HQ'd in YT and appear to be investment real estate friendly based on their filings.

First and foremost I have tried the typical solution of friends and family.
