Currently, based on Altos Research, inventory is up 10% YOY and this has put pressure on median list prices which are down 5% YOY.

It's worth taking the time to understand what you're doing so you can develop your own conviction and confidence.

I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

I’ve been investing for almost 3 months now, and have just started cold calling my call list of pre foreclosures aka I don’t have any properties yet.

So I have recently listed my rental unit on various sites.

Columbus also has great macroeconomics - lots of job growth, population growth, and major employers developing here.

I can’t r ember where the link is to lists but if you google it it should come up on hud.gov somewhere

I mean I highly doubt( but sure there will be other who say otherwise just because) you will find a very good investment property listed on MLS or other publically available service.On a side note if I did have aprroximatley 400k equity in two of my homes could I use any of that to invest in another property?

Most softwares will list (at least) name of guest, stay dates, ADR, and revenue to owner.

I also look at future development plans in the area, as new projects can increase property values and attract more renters.
