I’m not convinced that providing a washer/dryer connection will put any more rental income in my pocket and the home has other desirable features so I’m not worried that the lack of connections will be a deal breaker for a prospective tenantThoughts?

I believe I have it back words and need to put more time and effort into marketing than prospecting potential leads. its time to work!

I am running an ad campaign for an accredited investor opportunity, and I am seeing a fair amount of traffic from people looking for smaller, owner-operator type projects (10-20 units is a very common search).You could cap the budget and see where the interest lies, develop a prospect list.

I have a pretty good prospect on My 1st fixed and flip house after putting up some bandit times around my area and was able to find a house valued around 200 K and asking prices around 120 K With about 15K work as far as I can tell.

Cold calling and DM is a great way to gauge how your prospects will react to marketing.

The property should only be listed “pending” until actually closed.I just sold one,while pending I took 2 back up offers.As long as you are clear and honest with the prospects,you shouldn’t have a problem.Best of Luck!

Also, is a negative equity a criterion for identifying prospects off market?

Usually this would come from a prospective buyer who you have lined up for the property.

.:)I'm sure there may be some demographics where the markey is soft for enough prospects to fill a complex and that may influence lowering the age requirement.

I didn't find much in a search here, but did find a thread on the other things to take. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/56/topics/61204-what-prospecting-tools-do-you-carry-
