One is like a mom-and-pop deal.

Lets say you're looking for 3/2 buy and holds, find what they sell for/rent for so when one pops up you know its a deal and can act quickly. 

Properties pop up in these areas from time to time and I think they are poised for appreciation.

ERGO I pop right to the top of all the wanna be wholesalers cash buyer list  :)  now granted everything we are doing is 300 to 600k .. so far stretch from 10k houses.But this wholesaler brings me a deal for 190k.. its a full gut rehab.. end value about 450k needs 100k so good enough there Is a 75k profit in it maybe a little more. 

There are some mom and pop sized units but multifamily is not my specialty.

Try putting Lansing in the post title so it pops up on people's keyword alerts.  

If you're not quite as extreme as some of the hardcore members of either advocate, you're probably doing something right.Next time you bring the kids to the Pinball Museum here in Alameda on Webster, feel free to pop in and say hi to my team and I in the mortgage office upstairs that owns the building.

I feel like I’ve got the point where, if I see something pop up on the MLS I know immediately if it will be a good candidate or not.

The year 6 might not ever happen for a mom and pop tenant so you want to wring out every last cent of return year by year.

Just google biggerpockets contracts and they'll pop up
