Never heard of them before and completely random and has my email address made me freak out.

(This, of course, is why appreciation exists in some markets and not others: constraints on growth, usually physical.)Here's a slide I made for a presentation I gave about this:These are the actual growth numbers and correlation coefficients for a random collection of markets.

@Nick Hulmedon't invest OOS in a random market for $87 a month in cash flow. 

@Johnnie Schneiderit's wherever you can be successful.don't buy a random property you haven't seen 2,922 miles away.where are you located? 

And finally, a random one, we split our time between Puerto Rico and Michigan right now, how are those markets?

Friendly reminders, warnings, and random "notifications" are largely useless.

But you more common items are plumbing issues (not replacement, but random clogs), appliances and HVAC.All told, assuming you accounted for vacancy, various reserves (capex, repairs and maintenance), turn over costs, PM fees and leasing commissions, and you can pencil to 7% CoC, that is a pretty good deal.It seems like you are not moving rents in a significant manner, but I would always confirm the surrounding area's average incomes can support your pro forma rents (if the tenants are already stretched at $1,200) the chances of finding tenants at $1,300 could be a challenge.  

@Oliver Webb that was a nice flip, when you mention that the best way to is to talk person to person do you go around and just ask people randomly do they want to sell their home?

It's going to help a lot more than asking random people on the forums.

Finally after contacting some random manager there was told it would possibly take another 2 weeks for them to respond.
