Hi, I was wondering if there's any good reliable places to market tenant in place + management in place properties. 

Any tips for navigating the competition in such a hot market?

Utilities included.Fully rented.For sale off market.

Low or no down, seller financing and low or no interest with a balloon payment later is the holy grail (location, building condition, market also matter but it sounds like you have all that).

Any recommendations for free tools to do market research?

Most of the ones I bought had existing tenants and almost all were paying below market rents and way below market rents.

Hi all, I am familiarizing myself with at the Albequerque market and wondering whether any local investors can shed some perspective on overall property values relative to rents in the area.
