I’ve had most luck with signs in front of my plaza and word of mouth - networking at Chamber of Commerce and chatting with other business owners in the area.

Owner RE has work and risk.  

I am a co-owner of GSP REI and the Vice President of Investor Relations.

I've built relationships with property managers who have distressed properties in their portfolios that can communicate directly to owners. 

Gamal is the owner.

It is a family owned property of which I am one of the co-owners.

Unfortunately, the previous owners used the same lease for this garage space as they used for the residential units. 

I wish all the STR owners luck.

I almost exclusively work with investors and business owners in buying and selling in Baldwin County. 

This vary heavily town to town. 20% down is great if buying strictly as investment but if you have a way of owner occupying I would explore that route and apply the 20% down to increasing value of property and instead using low money down loan.
