Properties with no mortgage tend to be lawsuit targets. 

Write targeted letters yourself saying you own and live in a multi in the area and are looking to expand.

Are you targeting a certain area of STL?

@Shawn TumaFrom my experience, you can boost rental income and manage mortgage costs by targeting value-add properties and exploring mid-term, short-term, or room-by-room rentals.

For the 10 year period spanning November 2014-2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9% in that period.With inflation nearing its 2% target and signs of a slowing labor market, The Federal Reserve recently made its third cut to the federal funds rate since the start of the COVID pandemic.

Any tips on targeted marketing, effective lead generation, or even some "outside-the-box" tactics?

A couple other neighborhoods I like besides the two you mentioned are Washington Park, Hyde Park, Woodlawn, and South Shore.I think that area will continue to be gentrified because you have the lakefront as well as CTA trains.Is there any reason you are targeting Chicago instead ofdoubling down in Kansas City?

I've done quite a few 1031's and each time I had my three targets already picked which means they were less than two weeks from being signed when I closed on my downleg.
