It's pretty easy to see areas that consistently get high rents and bad areas that get low rents.

@Chris Purcell @Andrew Bowlds The portfolio consists of 7 residential properties - 1 triplex, 2 duplexes, and 4 SFH (2 detached homes and 2 condos).

It seems that the consistent advice I've received is make as much money with as little amount of debt and in my case that seems to be the finance route which I now feel more inclined to do. 

I am able to consistently drive in multifamily leads and see that as a valuable asset to a partnership. 

For example, the seasoned turnkey companies realize that their demand is driven by investors looking for a safe, consistent return.

I handled a lot of rentals as a real estate agent when we lived there and everything being consistent, opportunity should still exist, just not on the MLS.

Become an expert or the market, if you can find the time to become an expert in more than one market knock yourself out...But lot of relationships are built on volume or consistency...

If you consistently analyze properties, it will be much easier to recognize a good deal when it shows up.5.

Well...the Dayton Dragons baseball team has the most consistent sold out games of any sporting team in North America (startling fact), Warped Wing opened a second location, and a half dozen other breweries are now open in the city...Boston Stoker coffee is totally awesome and has several new locations (this is important because it's a key indicator for the successful revitalization of many cities...beer-food-coffee is key)...there is a river front development that is reminiscent of Columbus (which was awarded best on the country), there is big inner-city revitalization...I saw a developer by the name of Simms pre-sell 24 $500k "Brownstone" townhouses in the center of downtown (unheard of in Dayton)...there are 30 renovation projects going on downtown...and they now have a full time staff on the streets to keep the city clean...the population is on the increase for the first time since 1964....I mean this is pretty superficial, but it's every bit as important as economic indicators...there is a lot more to this...There are still "war zones" in abundance in Dayton and it's the Opiate Overdose capital of the USA...but getting better rapidly...just proceed with caution if you elect to invest there...a local subject matter expert is a must!

I am on 20 or so wholesaler lists and get emails from 1 or 2 of them consistently.
