Generally houses worth 200-300k rent in my experience close to 1750-2250 in AL if you can get section 8 assuming you have 3-5 bedrooms3.

We only manage our own portfolio right now, so the bottom line is close to my heart.

I've built strong relationships with wholesalers, agents, and contractors in my market, and we're closing on our second deal on February 19th.

Quote from @Sean Anthony: Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Sean Anthony website is down and Google states business is "Temporarily Closed".Many times these guys just open another company, so his name will be more important than the company name.He's been reported to the FBI, FTC, local law enforcement, and Ohio Division of Real Estate. 

After 5 years in the business I’m starting to get a few word of mouth referrals which is how I closed my last property which was my first off market deal.

What's left is simply $ to close (HML easily solves that) getting the vendors to do the "simple stuff" (pick your platform; Angie, Neighborly etc etc) and than to sell it (more agents than one can count happy to list). 

Getting the information takes time and experience but once you have it you'll be light years ahead of others who are just starting out.
