We've been running all over creation showing a client $1M+ properties and finally put one under agreement for over $1.5M.All sorts of tiny red flags start showing up.  

Its a tiny market, not close enough to anything to matter.

Ohio properties cash flow a tiny bit more for me.This is my personal experience with 6 properties, purely anecdotal

Increase portfolio by 100 units (a combination of a tiny home community in Florence, Arizona, a condo development in San Tan Valley, Arizona, a few multi-family properties and or mobile home parks, and 20-40 single family residences in Arizona and the triad area of North Carolina - mostly Greensboro and Winston-Salem).2.

They take some technique or strategy that’s only workable or beneficial in a very tiny percentage of situations and generalize it as a major breakthrough.  

The reasons for investing are much more than just cashflow, that is 1 tiny tiny part. 1.

Tiny 2 bedroom 1 bath house.

then in the 50s 60 70s  you had land sales men  ( Glen Garry Glen Ross movie) and then you had metal siding salesmen  ( pushing tin)I grew up with a Dad that was a land sales men in the 60s and the movie dead on accurate of how the business was done.Then it morphed to timeshare sales or as its affectingly know Crime share..  

(Tiny old postage stamp lots)in parts of the bay area its mandatory to change the drain line when houses are sold if they are a certain age and still clay pipe.. my brother in law does a ton of them.. realtors are his source.. many times they just pipe burst.. and are done in a few hours for 6 to 8k. when I was doing my rental thing in the deep south we could get a new PVC from house to street 50 ft or so for 1500 or so.. if we did it during rehab and not under stress.. 

And, in case it needs to be restated, the reason I am not just mailing to my zip AND a different market: tiny budget.Oh, and I suppose I should mention, so I've talked with about 20 people, a few were tire kickers, just curious, etc.
