Some tips for offsetting costs.  1.

@Tomer Ravid the previous landlord was charging $525/month in an area where market rent 5 years ago was $850/mnth for a similar apartment (2 bed 1 bath).What I did was put in over 100 hours of landscaping work, upgraded the appliances, upgraded the kitchens and baths (all as cheaply as possible, for example, I painted pink tile white, used thermoplastic panels and liquid nailed them over the old tile backsplash, laid down new vinyl floors over the old nasty vinyl, etc) and was able to take very nice pictures and market the property very well.I also allow dogs, so that is a huge competitive advantage in the area.

People will gladly help, but won't do it for you.This is just the tip of the iceberg, good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.I also noticed your pro, so you should have access to the 2012 Audio, listen to Will Barnard and the Wholesaling bootcamp by Aaron Mazrillo, and Ryan Webber.  

I think the main reason has been a lack of good river access points, there are only a couple in the county, and there's a very long stretch with no good place to get in or out of the river at all.So at the bottom or our hill there's been property for sale for a while, it used to be a landscaping business or some such but it's been vacant for years.

Good tip.
