The most powerful is simply keeping your properties in good condition, treating residents with respect, and following the law. 

With lack of inventory it’s those who get their first have best chance of winning - so trying to get out ahead is something to consider

The easiest way to avoid the licensing issues is to simply lend money, or buy paper on investment properties. 90% of the states do not require a license to originate, lend, or buy and sell paper if the subject property is Non Owner Occupied, ie: Business Purpose Real Estate, ie Investment Property. 

You can't simply buy an interest in an LLC that owns real estate. 

I would put every MDC Clerk of Court sales record (date, case number, address/PID, opening bid, winning bid, AV, etc.) into a spreadsheet, along with the names of the 3rd party bidders.
