Try looking on pocket mynt for some off market properties. this site is for licensed agents only so your realtor can join them and start browsing.

I also love browsing book stores and examining the TOC, Index and skimming a few paragraphs - - it's not a waste of time and you and your significant other can always go to dinner thereafter :)Here's the path we took to our MFU 6-units:looked for a property which produced a cash flow - - not interested in property appreciation values, but needed to avoid red inkthis implies learning how to evaluate a rentals economic health and value (what are GSI, NOI, expense ratio, DSCR, cash/cash and cap rates). 

Make sure to check out the podcasts, webinars, blogs and browse through the forums, they are very resourceful.Wishing you great success!

You can browse but not post.  

I realize that the 70% “rule” is useful/applicable only when browsing many properties to essentially weed out the ones that aren’t worth pursuing further.What I see repeatedly is when it comes to the point of estimating the rehab costs…the presenter of the topic says something to the effect of “let just say the property need $10k in repairs…) and they move on to the next part of the calculation.

Every week we interview another investor and hear about both successes and mistakes.We also have an entertaining podcast, that is conveniently filled with tons of real estate information.Take some time to browse the site.

I've been browsing zillow at work tonight and saw a triplex at $85k with two units rented out for $840 a month in gross income...if I put the $500/month I'm currently paying in rent on top of that, it looks too good to be true.
