Know tons of people dropping $250k on a suv, i won't, I don't care how shiatsu on my bum it is, ok maybe I care a little lol, but point is it's only worth what it's worth, right. 

Get them out and start with leases and only rent to people that you have screened. 

That sounds cheesy until you talk to people who have lost their purpose.

Most people selling properties are not professional investors.

Quote from @Brendan Doherty': I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv).

All lies and manipulation of people who do not see through him.

Quote from @Theodore Sutton: Check out the site meetup.com and also the events page on BP for meetings up in your area to meet people like this and build relationships.

And the best part is that I haven't had any missed rents because people weren't able to apply. 

You absolutlely need to be direct to seller or have close, personal relationships with wholesalers and active agents.

@Kyle Carter People hit on the obvious, hype and excitement of a large name company like apple moving to an area.
