Hi Jerry, BP and local Facebook groups are a great resource for meeting local agents, investors, and lenders who can provide some solid insight into the markets you're interested in.

Calling a FSBO wasn't the original question - it was "text blasting".I cited some very solid sources above that are worth reading. 

Section 8 can be a solid strategy, especially in cities like Detroit where the rent-to-price ratios often make it worth considering.

Hello Mike,we joined Raise Master last year and it has been a great investment already, the community is amazing, a lot of people helping each other out, building solid relationships.

I own 9 rentals in SC spread across Columbia, Chapin, and Newberry that are solidly profitable. 

The direct booking features are also fantastic.Customer service is solid, and Hospitable is constantly improving.

Once you narrow it down, start with small jobs to test their reliability and quality before giving them bigger projects.Building a solid network takes time, but having dependable people on call is a lifesaver for your rentals.

We're now just about 3 years in and have had solid occupancy.

And don’t forget to build a solid local team—agents, property managers, etc.

I wanted to use the camera footage as evidence in a civil case against the tenant.I was initially told that it would take 2 weeks to get the footage to me, then that blew out to several months, and now finally 6 months later they finally get back to me and tell me the footage doesn't exist, even though the initial report said cameras were activated.That footage would have shown that the tenant was making threats to damage my property (which she made good on).Do I have any recourse on the police for failing to provide the footage on a timely basis?
