I'm new to the game but I have been prospecting for deals for a while now.

Or they run a scam where they pretend to be the landlord and steal prospective tenants security deposits.

Nothing wrong with this approach but what you want is a measurable, predictable number of potential deals flowing your way so I wouldn't recommend relying solely on the passive deal search.You may have access to information to help you prospect for these deals on your own.

I love the prospect of Frisco but it seems to be appreciated quite a lot.

It will give you an entirely different prospective on investing, time management, and economic outpatient care.

Some operator takes some pity on me and says I can do some of this expedited and in person but only at Lake Zurich, Mount Prospect or Springfield walk in. 

. :)This is especially true if you rely on furnishedfinder.com as your primary lead source (which you shouldn't, but that's another post) as when you make that connection with a prospective resident, you are selling yourself as a landlord as much as you are the property as a place to live.

Accurately estimating expenses like maintenance, CapEx, and make-ready costs is a common challenge, especially for new or prospective investment properties.

Happy prospecting!
