Does anyone have advice on best software to use if I can't access the MLS yet? 

When looking at discounting properties to find a deal, I tend to lean into what the seller is looking for when I know I'm holding. 

If you are a cash buyer , know the market and foreclosure process then you can pick up  property for a 25% discount in a desirable location.Cheers

We often would offer concessions such as no security deposit or do half off first months rent or even a discount off the first couple of months.

I have ~20 doors in OH that I self manage (there are some awesome softwares out there now for self management) and am looking to start investing in Buffalo too.

Never signed up for his program, but you don't really need his software to do section 8.

And, FMV on 1/6/25 is not FMV today because now you don't have a lot in an established neighborhood, you have a lot in a disaster area which comes with the challenges I listed above.We built about three dozen "fire lot" homes after our fire--all lots acquired off MLS or from owners that came to us (we didn't market for lots), and not at a price that anyone would call a "discount". 

You can get houses at huge discounts and it is a great time to buy for appreciation.

I would like to connect with any member who invests in the Daytona or Columbus area of Ohio.Question: Is there any recommendations on how to find discounted properties in the Ohio market or is a turnkey property the way to go?

Whether you need a CPA with just three rentals depends on the complexity of your situation and your comfort level with DIY tax prep.If things are pretty straightforward, you might be fine with tax software for now.
