Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Some may tell you that you can systematize anything, but the problem is, every individual home is different (even the newer cookie cutter neighborhoods).Focus on two or three neighborhoods and know what a good deal looks like in those pockets.I would also temper your expectations as far as finding a lot of equity on MLS.  

@Beau Wollens A bit late to reply, but please tell me you bought this deal.

A way to look at it could be to find buyers first and figure out their buy box and after that go out and hunt for deals for them and run it by them when you find something.

It takes a long time to find an off market deal.

While I’d love to invest locally, most properties here are beyond my price range.Right now, I’m compiling a list of potential properties, underwriting deals, and reaching out to Realtors.

I'd challenge you to scroll through the forums here to see all of the self managers who are dealing with nightmare tenants and situations in order to save a few bucks per month on PM.

Are you new to real estate investing or already diving into deals?
