Ive heard direct marketing is a good tool. 

On demand service applications - As we find ourselves more and more technology driven, and requiring an immediate response, many self managing landlords are using tools that allow them to access vendors, repair companies, lock boxes, signs, etc online.

I bought at that time and my properties have tripled at min in value and I think they are still undervalued.

With real estate, you are looking for it to appreciate, ie increase in value, and/or having the rent (like a stock dividend) to cover your expenses or make money.As mentioned above, wholesaling is mainly a sales and marketing job/technique.

What are the best/most accurate tools to determine fair market value for a property?

They have better tools and skills than you do.

I don’t think the market will actually crash, but I’d imagine some of theses houses will go down in value since they aren’t worth the appraisal.Do any of you plan on waiting until the bubble pops before moving in?

There are some  pitfalls to be aware of. 1. there is enough cash from the refi to add to the purchase to justify this complex structure2. the timing needs to be pin point, meaning the closing of the purchase is the same day as the closing of the refi.Something to add to the tool box if this move adds value to the transaction. 

I can list hundreds of examples in this book but one of my favorite is: Control the Options: Get Others to Play With the Cards You DealThis is a great tool which I use in pretty much every real estate transaction, I'm actually using it in a transaction I'm currently in!

The cities efforts are still paying off with a amazing appreciation both in values and average rents.
