Not surprisingly, our #1 method is marketing direct to motivated sellers via direct mail, PPC, and outdoor advertising.Other methods are (a) REOs and (b) auctions.

We want to go into contract tomorrow..list price.is $309.000 we are putting 20% down at 4.375 interest. realtor "says" we can get $900 for one unit & $1500 for second for a 1 bed garden & 1 bed plus den for 2nd floor. i think thats a bit on the higher side of rent but b/c the property has been completely gutted and rehabbed by investors it is possible for this "hotter neighborhood" if we estimated on lower end of rent bout $600 & $1400 we put the out door cash flow at $140 per door. we are putting an offer in but not exactly sure what to go in with. thinking $285-290.000 if you could take a look i would greatly appreciate it as we really like this property & hope it looks good enough that the numbers make sense. i plugged numbers into an investment property calculator & canshow a spreadsheet to look at if that would give you a better understanding. would so appreciate any advice you have!!

@Maurice Collier I'd start getting the property rent ready, such as safety things, and perhaps look into some upgrades ... especially dishwasher, washer/dry, new flooring, paint, outdoor space, deck, but it depends a lot on your market, and how much money and time you want to invest.

Other than reading about real estate, I love to rock climb, fly helicopters, ski, fish, backpack, ride motorcycles, travel and experience all that the outdoor world has to offer!
