Very few of them come to our office nowadays, as there is no real advantage.

No slowdown in demand in sight, but we shall see. 

Would that be, for example, if the PM says, "I manage a duplex for John Smith in Turlock," then I call John as a reference, ask John a few questions, and then ask John the address of his duplex so I can later look it up on the county website and verify if he is the owner?

There's no guarantee that there will be more inventory in the spring, and you should just continue to look, and when the right opportunity comes up, just grab it regardless of the timeline. 

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn.

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.

Would you be looking for a "fixer upper" type property or something with little to no rehab (aka "turn-key")?

Best thing is to call the housing authority that manages the voucher program in your city/county.
