This is often more difficult to find but one strategy would be to talk with STR investors who are active in the market there. 

I know when I was an active Broker my SOP  was get listing open escrow with buyer to be determined and order the preliminary title report prior to spending money on marketing someones property..

Instead of trying to actively manage investments in singles and doubles have you considered investing passively in syndications?

Often the owners are active in selling and trading with other arcades and you can slide right in and purchase one they’ve been trying to sell or trade.What games are you looking for?

You have to be an active manager and many current owners are not wanting a second job and are selling.

If you’re active in California real estate or looking to break into the market, you’ve probably heard about Senate Bill 9 (SB 9).

Not sure about maple heights/cleveland, but just down the road here in Akron, the Akron housing authority maintains a list of properties and landlords who are actively interested in providing section 8 housing.

Are you looking to actively invest or do it passively? 

This is what I am encountering, in the current Mortgage Industry.If you think you will go FHA, Conventional, FHA 203k, etc. and then Quit Claim the property, to a Corporate Entity, or a Land Trust you run the risk of the lender discovering a Title Transfer occurred and activating the "Acceleration Clause" or "Due on Sale Clause" that requires the loan to be paid in full, within 'x' number of days.

There is no such thing as a "safe and stable" investment in real estate if you are going to be active or passive. you can buy the best property in the best area and have a tenant destroy the place or have it mismanaged that can cost you.Check out the syndication group on how many people were promised "safe" or guaranteed returns and lost little money to everything.
