I've been wanting to expand out of my market in Iowa, and see that the Winter Haven, Lakeland, Haines City areas are similar to purchase points as my market.

Whoever gives me the most business and has an excellent close record will first be presented with off-market opportunities. 

I would just be careful hopping back in now as interest rates and low inventory are making it very difficult if you aren't finding your own off-market options to buy.

With rates high, I don't see much changing in the market as buyers struggle to afford a mortgage. 

In this situation, is it better to get a property through regular means, look what is on the market (through realestate agent), or maybe go through a sheriff sale?

Most land buyers who are developers usually stick to a very predefined region within their local market and they hunt and wait for killer deals and market swings to get the land they want for the very specific purpose they want.

If you're a landlord or investor in the Charlotte area, you might have noticed something unusual in the rental market this winter.

I was wondering if most wholesalers have stopped using direct mail and just moved to google/facebook to find deals?

Depending on the condition you'll command a better price on the MLS vs. off market.

What are some other emerging markets maybe with a bit lower to cost to entry for a BRRRR strategy?
