However, if you have the time and prefer to source properties on your own, I would highly recommend the following strategies:Connect with probate attorneysVisit property auctions: These happen monthly and, surprisingly, aren’t saturated with investors.Cold callingTarget LLC owned properties: Over the years we have seen an influx of companies purchasing SF for rentals/long-term holds and they failed to account for property taxes and an increase in new construction coming to the market.

I prefer the multis because there’s one set of expenses and multiple rents coming in.

Some people prefer an electric dryer over gas and in some of our properties we have both gas and electric hook ups for dryers so they can have their choice.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: I think that this BP forum takes on that deal-killer function very well......at least it can if/when investors take the time to post their questions and concerns.It should, but because some (not all) investors are fragile about criticism or prefer an echo chamber, it often falls into a back-and-forth where we are trying to help on our own time, and they are rejecting it and calling us naysayers.

Renters may prefer paying 40 less per month rather than the one time $500 discount. $40/month off works out much better for the tenant, even though they may not realize it, and it's a killer for the landlord

Jerryll is very direct which I prefer.

I prefer Rentredi for rent collection, lease signing, maintenance requests, etc.

Despite having photos available, many prospective tenants still prefer to see the unit in person to get a better sense of where they'll be staying. 

Some funds offer preferred equity and common equity in the capital stack.

They prefer the middle/southern part of the country because the laws are friendly and prices are more affordable.
