I don't know you guys but even if you think James has a bad reputation you probably should not lead off with that if you are trying to find a solution. 

The solution I give them is to narrow their focus on a specific market, study it, and get to know what a good deal looks like.

The landlords solution is to make us all “owners” by creating a lease option to purchase contract. 

Fast solutions have slow problems.

You can’t stop folks from calling so best to figure out a solution on your end.

But these are the sorts of gaps that people come up with solutions for.

I have some solutions in mind but also want to see what the pros may have to say!!

I built my first modern 7 years ago and like you agree that some (not all) moderns will age out.

From my research, I feel PropStream offers superior data quality, but I’m also drawn to Flipster for its all-in-one solution.

I live abroad, but I will be in Portugal in December and I'm planning to visit Entroncamento and talk with local real estate brokers and other locals to better understand the rental market there, to have more information for my analysis.I'm looking to locations close to Lisbon and with good infrastructure (transports, social, manufacturing, etc) with prices under 60k, because I think in 5 to 10 years, they can have  appreciation between 20% to 40% in some cases.Thats my experience with investing in Barreiro, In less than a year I have aprecciation around 20%-25% in 2 apartments that I bought under market value in the beginning of 2020 and rents are around the 1% of acquisition value.I also plan to talk with some banks to understand better what refinancing solutions are available in the market.Regards,Mauro
