We live in California so I think the opportunities are better when it's OOS.

Hi Saul,For better cash flow potential, you might consider Memphis.

If you’re set on Florida, focus on areas just outside the main city that are still growing—you’ll find better deals there.

Currently just waiting it out and hoping for the best to start the year so I can move on and dive into better opportunities. 

However, full site visits, though more expensive, maximize tax savings by capturing every depreciable asset and offer better audit protection.While online studies may be suitable for simpler properties, full site visits are ideal for complex or high-value properties.

Is there a better way to contact the owners of these properties?

But the most realistic goal I have is to get better at analyzing deals.

Weirdly, you may actually be able to get better terms and/or more LTV on the refinance if there is debt on the property as lenders have rules for max cash in hand (max proceeds you get at closing) for cash-out refinances.  

Landlords mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact same services and operate the exact same way, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services.This also leads them to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

In my opinion, it is better to choose an area with a path to progress.
