Its a gem having a tenant like that, but at the end of the day it is a business.

There are still gems out there here and there, but every time I've tried to pick one up they were under contract the second they hit the MLS; the deal was already worked out ahead of time.

There are some real gems here like Pembroke, Halifax and Kingston. 

Thanks for sharing this gem Derrick!

This is a great area to invest in and there are still many gems out there. 

Plus different people look at properties differently and someone might pull up a gem that someone else just didn't "see."

Todd Smith, my name is Giovanny Garcia and I am brand new to San Angelo and brand new to real estate investing.

I wouldn't say that spending precious life time to drive around to get lucky is a strategy I use anymore, since the competition uses faster, better and cheaper tools and will pick up that gem way before you see it.

Here is a BP Blog Post I wrote about the Memphis, TN market you may find helpful though written with multifamily in mind, most of the remarks apply to single family as well: Best Multifamily Markets and Hidden Gems

I have no advice to give, but there are definitely a lot of gems in this post!
