If you're diligent, you can find good tenants yourself.Unless I'm mistaken, realtors will only show units that are listed for rent on the MLS, so there is a lot of inventory they don't know about.

Also look up on your tax assessor's site to try and identify properties that are in the bank's inventory.

Our city/county has more than 10,000 surplus properties in inventory at the moment that they are selling at literally rock bottom prices.
