Since you said you are selling your building I’d argue you already have been a real estate investor.

Looking on using Direct-Mail Marketing for Off-market properties, any recommendations on which real estate investor list to buy to target the Tampa Bay area? I have couple of lists but not sure which one to start with. 

Quote from @Rou Odab: Some of these things would come up on a home inspection, but since we are past that I would do a couple of things.

It's definitely not your fault that the kid allowed the sink to overflow.It's not the tenants responsibility to inspect caulk.

I had a client considering a building on that edge that you mentioned just yesterday.

Quote from @Jeffrey Bourque: Hello All, I am new and this is my first attempt at purchasing a property with the intent to create monthly cash flow.The property: Triplex Listed at $140,000 - Total monthly rent income $2,150 - Tenants want to stay and are all willing to sign new leases for 3 years - 8 beds 5 baths and 3,500sqft livable space on a 4,800sqft lot - Heat and electric paid by tenants and water trash paid by owner $180 month - I have managed to talk the selling price down to $105,000 with a kick of $10,000 for closing and commissions so $115,000 all in - Building is in fairly good shape according to pictures and questions but have not done a inspection yet - some general maintenance repairs are needed according to the seller but nothing that seems to bother the tenants. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

The buildings were still usable.  

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

Instead of platforms like Angi, try building relationships directly with contractors, architects, and developers.

Avoid any self-help eviction tactics like changing locks.Maintenance: As a landlord, you’re responsible for ensuring the property meets basic health and safety standards, including working plumbing, heating, and electrical systems.Inspections: While there are no mandatory inspections required before renting, your property should comply with building codes.
