(currently  I have been sending my investors a 7 question survey to fill out for their criteria)My goal is to build genuine, long-term relationships with investors by creating opportunities that benefit everyone involved.

Also consider contacting houses that look vacant, simply door knocking in a neighborhood that you are interested in and talking to the homeowners in a genuine way, For Sale By Owners is another potential, using an App like Nextdoor or Facebook pages/groups related to local real estate and just telling the group what you are looking for, contractors also know about houses coming on the market soon and so do property management companies, and finally garage sales are a good way to find off-market properties as people prepare to sell.To Your Success!

I’m genuinely curious about this perspective.I meant this would affect Bryon City, Cosby, Cherokee, Blue Ridge, etc (Cabin/Mountain Markets in the Area).

And then add a caveat, one you were genuinely contemplating or actually did list for sale within the first 6 years and it didn't sell for whatever reason and fit in the time frames listed above?

Looking at the responses on this forum, I appreciated the thoroughness of a few answers and the genuine curiosity of another respondent.

Have you analyzed whether it will genuinely add value?

My purchase is not contingent on financing, and I genuinely want to move forward with buying this property. 

Everything else is a total nightmare, with frequent failed connections and endless re-linking hassles.What’s even more frustrating is that, despite being a premium-paying customer, I’ve been chatting with Christopher from Stessa’s support team for over seven weeks, and he has genuinely tried to help.

They seem honest and genuine, and have seen tremendous growth the last few years.

He's an acquired taste but I've read many of his books and maybe I'm a fool, but I believe he is genuine in his commitment and drive for success.
