Slim pickings for a "good deal", still searching though! 

Keeping all of the profit to fix things that go wrong sounds like a good plan to me. those are pretty slim margins to try and pull a profit out of.

There's slim pickins in the City of Rochester itself but I'm gonna keep my eyes open.

(Usually, the chance is very slim...)Conclusion:  Most of the time, seller don't need off-market deal unless the buyer is paying the same MLS price.  

For what sounds like a non-luxury, basically commercial property, that's REAL slim pickings.

That's just flat out a bad list because the odds someone who just bought a property and wants to sell it already is very slim.

There are tons of single family homes, but the picking seems super slim on homes with potential for 2 income properties. 

I would do that deal if I felt pretty solid on ARV and my repairs, but it doesn't take too much for that to get slim.  

Deals are slim on the MLS, and I've stopped looking there.

For us, the turnkey business is more about volume then minimum profits; we will enter into deals that we know have very slim profit margins b/c we have more buyers then houses and our goal is to build the management company with a good portfolio of houses as that is a very sustainable business with other business opportunities that can spin off that.
