You can start to Farm and door-knock and mail a choice neighborhood with a great sales price and turnover rateThe low-hanging fruit is ALWAYS going to be For Sale By Owners and Expireds. 

@Harrison Krause for sure post after you have it under contract not before, I don't have any book recommendations for you, just be prepared for wholesaling to be a lot of squeeze for only a little bit of juice.

The main reason being, they prefer to be where the action is, in urban areas close to the hottest juice bar or aqua-yoga studio.

In 2018, these "artists" can be replaced by millennial hipsters that open coffee shops, juice bars, and hot yoga studios in low income areas subsequently causing the area to get increasingly better over time.Has anyone else noticed this trend?

Statements like:"Juice isn't worth the squeeze""Nightmare""Not worth it"From the best I can tell the building is in a C part of town. 

Any recommendations on advertising that has been fruitful in finding new leads?

There was food on plates left around the living room, fly strips hanging from the kitchen light, fruit snacks on the carpet, and the toilets/showers looked like they had not been cleaned in 6+ months. 

@Frank Wolter Great example of the American dream i.e. what fruits of your labor can produce.

I don't want to discourage anyone, but we aren't particularly close to the inventory being at replacement cost in my opinion which is why you continue to see so many apartment investors chasing the B and C class inventory.I am sure there are deals if you find a distressed lot etc. but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. 

well if they intend to and do close, all is well and right in the world, BUT if they went into the deal with no intent of closing if they didnt find a buyer for the contract, not that creates a Litigateable problem with the seller, and license law problem because they intend to collect a fee for the contract by marketing the home with out a license. they can argue "But im selling my contract not the house" well thats like saying im eating healthy because this Jelly filled doughnut has fruit in it, no one is buying that argument.
