Give yourself a window of time to accomplish any repairs required between residents.As an added bonus, when you pre-lease your home you have more time to screen and interview prospects instead of being rushed to make a last-minute, less-thoughtful decision.These are just a few of the action items that professional property management companies employ every day to ensure low vacancy and happy clients.

Also, you can sign up to be on their email distribution list to have off market deals sent to you.

Cash flow being a bonus.

As a few others have mentioned, look into Qualified Opportunity Zone funds.Also, you could look for passive real estate syndications that will do a cost seg/bonus depreciation, and use the big first year paper losses to shelter your profits.

@Levi Bennett brokers will post closings on LinkedIn and other social media so friend them, talk to them, sign up to get their emails, etc. make sure you have your elevator pitch ready for the brokers when you tell them why you are a great buyer who can close deals

Bonus Comment!

The inspector for the property also mentioned needing a vacant building license which was a nice bit of bonus info since this will be our first gut renovation and still learning a lot about the entire process. 

However, I can also use bonus depreciation and effectively write off the entire purchase amount of $50,000. 

This requires them to sign up which is half the battle. 

We were able to sell it quickly and profit about $21K after soft costs.We got the deal bought and sold within 1 month, which meant a nice little Christmas bonus for Red Ladder.
