All mine have been word of mouth , I am on the street all day .

I was an active member of BP years ago but my dreams of being a buy and hold investor were put on hold when I was burned in a business investment once I got out of the Navy.I have mostly recovered. 

He was very loyal to us, street wise and protective of us... which was a good thing.

For now start with active marketing.

I know, it has to cash flow, but curious if anyone has any insight into:* How to estimate insurance costs (flood, windstorm, and standard)* How to best verify a property condition (considering the location)* How to know good areas (some homes have been abandoned for years next to new builds, quality can be street by street)* General tips or recommendations for what to look for, or look out for

Industry activity as well as proposed and current development projects look to keep us in a strong state.  

As others have mentioned, it shows properties that are no longer available and here in my area in particular, any time a home goes straight from Active to Pending it just removes it from Zillow completely and does not show a pending sale.

Plus you need a good amount of off street parking
