They sell a 4 unit for close to 1 million dollars close to Jacksonville. they want 250k or 300k down. there's no upside. you can google the properties on biggerpockets and there isn't a lot of satisfaction. it's a slow return and get rich slow strategy. our focus is always as a builder to add maximum value, lower cost as low as possible, build and rent and build and sell the same product and raise prices to help investors out. we have a large market share and large purchasing power in our market in columbus ohio. the one strategy I never liked about turnkey new build brokerage companies like them and build2rent or others is they don't really build close to urban centers and most are single family homes. the numbers don't work on single family homes. if single family was the way to go more companies would be doing it. but by far the most common type of new construction built is three story walk up apartments.

Pull out a spreadsheet and go through the tools everyone mentions to run some comparables and take note of photos, amenities. 

Tools like BiggerPockets Calculators and rent estimation tools are incredibly helpful.

Buyers have pretty much dried up and have the power currently.

It isn't the full job, but it is a tool in the tool-belt. 

My GUESS is these homeowners have been tricked/screwed in to signing a long term power purchase agreement, often with no buy out provision.

This is why this method is so powerful.  

@Monish Anand Bigger Pockets has an 'agent finder' tool.

It is a tool, has it's place for sure, but a far cry from universal solution. 

Is the property under a high tension power line or down wind from the horse rendering factory or on a main thoroughfare or some other obstruction that you wouldn't want to live near?
