I sent my contact information in a direct message

You should reach out to @Melissa Haworth she can get the actual numbers/rents on STRs in the area to help run your comps.Each building is different, each area is different, it is important to find accurate data to make good decisions.

Now it’s time to contact the cash buyer and seller and find a date and time that works for both of them.

There’s not much AirDNA data to go off, so my best guess is it’ll be tied to Savannah seasonality and around ~50-55% occupancy.

Did you contact his broker?

Quote from @Mike Calvey: Hey Bobby - Have you tried contacting an agent in that area through the Find An Agent feature with BiggerPockets? 

if you're not doing so already, i'd go to meetups and just work on making friends and business contacts. 

All the cheap properties are MAJOR fixer-uppers with no Rent Zestimates - probably because there are not enough rental data points.This one is priced at $135k with only $1,152 Rent Zestimate.

Contact the real estate division for confirmation: https://idfpr.illinois.gov/dre.html 

Does anyone have a particular contact they can go to for info?
