I operate in 10 different markets, with DFW, HOU, And SAN A, being a few. 

The ways around that are to build a business around supporting their voucher and inspection program and spending no small amount of effort ensuring they are smoothly servicing your rentals. 

These properties include different foreclosures and those that sell below their market value.

Just wondering can you ever catch a great deal on the market  and if so what’s stopping you from taking advantage?

Need a marketing team or call center.

Stats are not in your favor but forget the stats as it all depends on the individual's drive, effort and processes. 

Just wanted some Input as to where would my Marketing Dollars be best spent?

Also, how'd you narrow down your search to these two markets? 

It takes about a quarter of the effort to manage a lease option property that it takes to manage a rental property.

I work with investors in Chicago who are actively buying off-market properties, and Ive noticed that everyone has a different approach when it comes to sourcing deals.
