You just need to know where to find your clients.

This is more than enough to tell you what kind of tenants they are going to be.

Even when we manage to reach a working voicemail,owners often assume we are just another "we buy land" serviceoffering far below market value.Given thesechallenges, we are eager to learn the most effective strategies for locatingpotential sellers and establishing a professional, trustworthy connection thatencourages serious consideration of our offers.Telephone/voicemail is informal, hence casual, hence “we aren’t putting much effort into this.”

Hi Alaina, welcome to the community! 

That's not exactly an up and coming area -- I'd research who built them - can likely find that by going to the SG County Recorded Docs site or by seeing who pulled the permits during const -- Wichita has been on a duplex building boom -- look at the tax value -- They probably have that or less in it on the build - I also doubt they were built to be quality long term -- things such as the trim/cabinets etc -- they all look like the cheapest stuff a guy could buy - if the cabinets aren't oak and there is MDF or pine trim and pre-hung doors with engineered wood jams I'd run.  2-3 yrs ago for $180k -205 or so you could buy duplexes in Maize, Kechi, Valley center all day to builders that were selling them off to investors - not worth that in that area.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

Not sure why that happen, however the best way to screen a potential tenant is to see how they have performed in the past. 

HI Melissa-  I would recommend you contact a few property managers in Bluffton SC to get some recommendation. 

Austin is not a great cash flow market currently, but has proven to have solid long-term appreciation.
