Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

You may also want to check with a local tax attorney in the state you want to invest in to confirm the best structure for your investment strategy.

Hi Jordi, The conditions of city neighborhoods have not changed much from opinions previously stated on this thread by my fellow local investors.

Vacancy rates can be highly market-specific and influenced by factors like the local job market, tenant demographics, and property management.

@William Fuller, these are all good questions for your local building department.  

Local is always better.  

Might be a way to get some cash quicker or maybe get a buyer for the land quicker if you can show them they could pull 1k an acre by having someone come clear cut the parcel after they buy it.The local population seems very limiting too.

Building relationships with wholesalers and staying active in local REI groups has also helped investors I know find opportunities that still pencil out.On the refi side, DSCR loans have been a solid option, especially for staying cash flow positive.

Here are some other strategies:Investor Networks: Share through local REI groups or investor meetups in Colorado and Ohio.Direct Outreach: Use mailing lists or email campaigns targeting known investors or real estate firms.Social Media: Post in real estate forums or Facebook groups for investors.Websites for Property ListingsRoofstock: Specializes in selling single-family rental properties to investors, offering built-in tools for analysis.BiggerPockets Marketplace: A hub for active real estate investors, perfect for promoting rental properties.Auction.com: If you’re open to auctioning properties, this platform reaches a broad investor audience.RealtyMogul: Offers connections to individual and institutional investors, especially for multifamily properties.MyHouseDeals: Focused on connecting with investors looking for fix-and-flip or rental properties.Zillow Rental Manager: While more general, it can still attract landlords looking to expand portfolios.Mashvisor: A great platform to market properties with detailed cash flow and rental projections.PropertyShark: Targets real estate professionals and investors with access to detailed property data.These can help you reach a broader audience and possibly sell faster.

If they claim not to have seen your offer you file a complaint with the local board of realtors and also with the state's real estate commission.
