I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

Quote from @Michael Ewers: Hey y'all, Wondering what is the best marketing strategy for obtaining off market leads?

Speak with a local Realtor who knows the market, but also is knowledgeable about creative financing options.Good Investing...

I wanted to see what markets have both a relatively high rent-to-price ratio and high appreciation.

Yes, taxes and insurance are higher, but Tampa has strong rental demand, and you can still find properties in growing areas just outside the city where cash flow is realistic.

The Charlotte rental market is experiencing significant shifts, and it’s raising some important questions for both investors and property owners.

@Laura YelinI’ve never been, but when considering new markets I usually just fly there and spend a few days there scoping it out.

Its set by the market.

I thought I was buying at top of the market in 2020...and 2022...but prices continue to remain high. 

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?
