We're able to find similar stuff that you'd get on the MLS but at a discounted price.

What software did you use to manage the renovation?

That is all well and good, though you don't save any money using their software.  

You'll need good contact info for them to be able to collect, and ideally the new address for the tenant however which if you don't have can probably be found easily with some online sleuthing/ contacting their employer, skip tracing software, etc. 

I fail to see how that is any different than Bigger Pockets but people talk about it.There is a very large group that charges $20k to join and has a lot of videos and meet ups and is run kind of like an MLM where they give you a "discount" "to the next level" if you convince someone else to join.

"His" software I found interesting, but I don't believe he developed it.

Peak and off peak shouldn’t be a 6% difference, it should be closer to a 50% discount.

The lucky few were able to scale quickly in maybe 7 years by buying properties at a discount (e.g 2008) or someone with very high W2 income and tons of capital. 

The software is going to be very conservative with your write-offs.

@Seth RoseI would look at the approach from a revenue mindset, not a discount mindset (which is where the BRRR concept was born).Firstly, I would like to point out that properties with great cash flow potential and deep equity positions aren't just floating around the MLS.
