I am also a Denver investor and resident :) I would highly recommend taking a look at the BiggerPockets agent finder, that will give you a shortlist of some agents you can interview and agents on BiggerPockets are investor friendly who tend to specialize in finding investment opportunities versus average agents who focus on helping families find homes. https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/agentsMy best advice is come up with a couple questions, take the time to meet with each agent over coffee or at least have a phone call.

The amount of ideologically inspired nonsense online is mind-boggling. 

I'd highly recommend attending some local reia meetings.

@Zachary Scalzo I have an MTR in Chesapeake and am interested, but when I try to visit your site it won't come up.

The only bad mistake that should be avoided is buying a bad location.General Tips: I could spend hours talking on this one.  

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

Anyone have a direct mail or postcard service they recommend for such a scenario?

There was a news reporter at the sale and they interviewed the high bidder, who admitted that they had not seen the property, but were certain that they would be building their family home there. 

These areas tend to attract high-quality tenants and provide consistent passive income, which is a great foundation for building your portfolio.If you’d like, I’d be happy to share some insights about these types of markets and why they’re appealing to investors.

Hi everyone  :-)Can anyone recommend a good property management company in the Cincinatti OH/Covington KY area?
