I have identified properties in a particular area I want to target and want to reach out to the property owner to see if they would sell.

Here's a bit of background:I have over ten years of experience in real estate.I've bought and sold hundreds of properties in the past two years.I have six performing rental properties and aim to expand this to 50 by the end of the year.

I ran a CMA on the property and got an average sells price of $290k. $280k is what I ran my numbers off of to be safe.

Hello all,I am looking at building by brand and would like to see what the community uses for marketing of their properties.

Zillow and online county property records for sale prices.   

If it's not, then the property may be completely obsolete as an 8 bedroom structure. 

"I was looking at get my property rented by the room to college students or Veterans" but I don't actively see this happening often.

If you buy a rental property by the end of the year, you might be able to offset some of the losses with the gain.best of luck.

Not impossible but it would be pretty tough to get an STR property approved unless you are an owner occupant.

Is the condition of the property good?
