In my experience, cash flow is key, especially for long-term holds, so running a detailed DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) analysis might be a good step here.On the flip side, if you're eyeing faster returns, a flip might be more lucrative.

Hello, I have purchased 4 different asset manager lists over the past two years, but three were ineffective with outdated information and many email bounce-backs or returned mail.The best list I found was at RealEstateTargetdotcom; I did a successful snail mail and email campaign, and picked up three new banks and an account with LPS.I also cross referenced names on the list to see who was attending or speaking at various REO conferences, and made efforts to meet asset managers in person.

Since it's been a strong market with plenty of cash flow opportunities, they have been working with a lot of out of state investors lately.
