If the landlord pulls up in a flashy vehicle or posts his car collection on Insta, he makes himself a target.

And, in my experience, it seemed they target (dare I say "prey" on) people who are brand new/uneducated about real estate and are still in the "dreaming" phase of a better life.All that to say, thank you for posting this.

I try to target $500 per hour and $10,000 per month.

Then there is fraud and you have a lawsuit target(s). 

Just like everything in the Biden administration is targeted to destroy the middle class and small businesses

Consider direct mail campaigns targeting homeowners who might be ready to sell and spend time driving around looking for distressed properties.

If so, try starting with the median list price in your target market. 

My first recommendation is to look for a real estate agent to help you understand the market.You can also do your own research by finding where other investors are buying properties by Zip code in your target area.Best way to find properties outside the MLS is to get in contact with wholesalers in the your market and reach out to sellers directly by targeting the subdivisions you want a house.Also, you have to consider how much rehab you are willing to do or if your just want a property that I moving in ready

so junk fee's are not included in your apr.and you dont advertise your junk fees  you advertise your points.. and when ALL of your competition is at 1 to 3 points with no up front disclosure of junk fee's in their advertisements then thats how you get the phone to ring..

However they won't come off of the advertised price.
