For 46240 there aren't as many leases and sales but you can expect the numbers to be just slightly higher.

They aren't a legal department. 

If you want to find off-market properties and aren't marketing, find the best off-market home buyer in your area and ask to go through their scraps.Local homebuying companies can talk about the other four homes they bought on the block from people the sellers know.

@Cesar GarciaYou need a property manager on your first out of state deal, the savings aren't worth the risk.

I understand your point and realize I've been trying to make certain rental properties work when the market conditions aren't right.

The game might be slightly different in some areas where there aren't as many 2-4 unit buildings, but there are always strategies like room share, renting out the basement/attic, air bnb, etc.

A few stickers and comforters aren't going to stand out.

Here's how you can find good deals on properties that might need some work or are priced lower than usual:Connect with People - Make friends with real estate agents, lawyers, and others who know about properties that need to be sold quickly or aren't in great shape.Reach Out Directly - Send letters or use websites to contact property owners who might want to sell fast.Look Around - Drive or walk around neighborhoods to find houses that look like they need fixing up.

But based on what I know around the country, there aren't many areas doing well right now with STR's.I will probably keep mine as long as I have a full time renter, but unless short term picks up, I will probably sell.

So you have people with thousands of dollars in monthly mortgage + monthly expenses who aren’t even breaking even in peak summer season.
