I avoid the multi-family market here, so unfortunately, I will not be a good go-to here, but I am confident you will find quality resources and help here on BP.  

Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

All channels can work, but in my experience, the greatest oppportunities often pop up when you know exactly what your returns need to look like and keep your ear to the ground in your market.

I.E. you know the area better than others.Is there a short-term rental market where you vacation at, where you went to college or where you grew up in?

If you are buying a home to live in - I would suggest finding a good realtor in your market.

@Joe Frank I’m a huge fan of Turbo Tenant to market properties, manage leads, screen tenants and lease up.

One unit was rehabbed with $15,000 and a new leaseadded at market rent.

I live in a very expensive market (Seattle, WA) and I am looking to invest out of State.

Most times when evaluating a DSCR mortgage, market rent will come into play.

Don’t forget. 2024 rent cap was 8.9% so you may never get “market rent”.
