Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Charlene Kingsnorth have you had an sec attorney also review what you are doing as if you're are having multiple people as part of a loan participating in it depending on the state this could get you in hot water - so be careful  good point Chris some state allow fractionalized deed of Trust mortgages other do not or require PPM like documents prior to offering them..

I have a salt water hot tub at my personal home.

There's plenty of people ready to pay for hot leads.If those aren't options, and you are focused on owning them, seller financing, subject-to, and lease options are the only remaining options.Thanks Ben. 

Your fixed costs could be something like the following: $5k property tax, $2k insurance, $3k utility (including internet and TV), $2k landscaping (mowing, weeding), $2k or $3k maintenance (if you have a pool or hot tub). 

The easiest ones to find are hot water leaks because usually the resident complains that their floor is hot.If you eliminate those, just have your PM stop by the property randomly to listen for running water.

Rest are yard/snow plow, plumber, electrician, hot rod enthusiast, and a regional Power drink distributor.7. 

Make sure to keep your eye on the prize and do not spend too much time chasing after the next hot thing.

It sounds like you're trying to identify which area is "hot" based on sales volumes and price.

Hey Sai the mid-market is a pretty hot and affordable.

If you're getting that much appreciation, you're in a hot area and anything decent is going to sell fast.
