Look at Homes.com or Realtor.com to get an idea what that type of property is selling for (look at the ones Pending or Under Contract)...or, look in the county's GIS system to see what similar properties sold for.Once you have an idea what a fair market value would be, let the landlord (if they're interested in selling) mention their price. 

Consider automated systems or direct follow-ups to engage more applicants.

The real work is locating these properties and I've learned the best way to do this is to work in towns/areas that have online GIS systems that map; topography, wetlands, soils, etc. and assessors data available for download either from local sources or listsource.com.  

He has a webinar about investing in properties with Section 8 tenants, and has a course teaching how to invest in Section 8 for $1,997.I wanted to see if anyone here has invested into his systems. 

Turning over management via a triple net lease is a great way to lock in superior cash flow thru a 15%+ long term lease.Self managing is easy money with tech and systems.

I'd seriously consider finding a new PM who has better systems in place for handling these situations.

I would just stick to your systems and processes and if the fits not there so be it.

Hi ALL,Can anyone recommend a easy to use property management tool that we can use, so far, we have 4 rentals and growing, We will like to have better control of the information and have a easy system for tenants to pay rent.As always, thank you for your input!!

That system is basically: 1/ take advantage of PMLs who don't understand the market, 2/ Take that money and use it for a predatory lending scheme.

You can consider diversifying across 2-3 markets initially but since out-of-state investing requires robust teams and systems, I suggest to start in one market, build your systems, and expand.
