Take this one for example:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Pacifica/732-Edgemar-Ave...I was ready to put in an offer until the listing agent sorta told me to not bother.

They HAVE to present all offers to their clients, UNLESS their clients have put in writing that they don't want offers presented under X. 

Properties have to be put in LLC. 

I use a warranty company so that I just put in the service request and they coordinate with the tenant directly.  

On a side note, I have put in all leases that it is the tenants responsibility and not the landlords to take care of pest control.

When I put in the offer we had only been in one of the units and of course it was the nicest unit available. 

You just have to put in an intense amount of research to filter them out.  

That tax deed stuff seems like more of a headache than I am willing to put in to this career, but still, I am sure there are some gems out there for people interested in that. 

It would take a big rent increase to raise COC from 20% to 25%.Anything you put in for future rent increases is simply a guess.  

Preferably a buyer's agent who will put in all your offers for you unless you prefer going straight to the listing agent on each property you want to purchase on some or all your purchases.2.
