Was just doing a  search on Google and realized I'm on page 6 for the first time in "forever".Not sure if it's due to Google search being that good or lack of effort.When is the last time YOU clicked past first page search results?

Purchase price: $925,000 Cash invested: $200,000 13 Unit Multifamily property in the Waveland neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa.

The difference is night and day between using someone you find online or in a search vs a personal referral. 

I live in a rural residential neighborhood that has recently been zoned medium density (townhomes).

@Erick HenningsHouston's emerging neighborhoods include East End, Third Ward, Heights, Spring Branch, Independence Heights, Alief, Cypress, Pearland, Richmond/Rosenberg, and Conroe/Woodlands.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

I search them on LinkedIn, Facebook, and all social media.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I have a few thoughts on the above neighborhoods...

Apparently the seller's title search didn't reveal a lien (ours did) which wiped out more than 80% of their remaining equity. - Expect rehab costs to exceed initial estimates (maybe double)!
