Let me know your thoughts, seems too good to be true but maybe I will find repairs after going to look at the property.Thanks in advance for your feedbackDave

I think I am ready to make my first moves in the industry.

I was wondering if it was legal and ethical to reach out to the owner or visit them at their alternate address to try to make a deal with them in advance.  

Thanks in advance.

I sell single homes and multi-home developments.My background is in the residential construction industry and retail building materials sales.

I live 45 minutes from my investment community so I don't want to waste time on people who are not serious.I assume you ask questions like why are you selling, what are you looking to get for property, and what deferred maintenance is there....Thank you in advanced as always for your input.

Many landlords will list a property months in advance of when it will be vacant so they can have applicants lined up to fill it quicker...so this can easily skew days on market high for rentals.

Does anyone have a reference to a contractor or advance on the best way to proceed?

Thanks in advance to anyone that would like to chime in.

Currently working full time in the automotive industry so I am looking to learn as much as possible and to start replacing my income with real estate investments as soon as possible.
