if they do: then, figure out how to be direct: 1) direct marketing 2) door knocking 3) creating the value (adding sq feet) : for this one: you may buy a 2 bed 1 bath that does not make sense: say that rents for $1200 breaking even: but you then add a master bed : and now the home is 3/2 and rents for $1700 : it went up in value and now you refinance it: get your investment out and still cycle the money in that way.
