Are they at market rent, or locked into below-market rates?

@Annabelle Rozen  I believe the stability of the rental market within Allentown is rather robust. 

So there payments are $200 - $400 dollars under market.

Or find a deal first then market it to buyers, then offer on the house and create an agreement with the seller & buyer?

To find value on residential 1-4 unit properties you could ask your realtor to run comps or complete a CMA(Comparative Market Analysis) on a subject property once you find it.or you can find the value on your own.We use prop stream to run comps. 

@Abigail Kingprimarily off market although, i've started to engage on on-market deals if i think they will fitvery difficult to find

Hey All, I'll be traveling to Costa Rica for a wedding and wanted to explore the market while I'm visiting.

In a highly competitive tourist market like New Orleans, I update my photos weekly. 

DFW is an amazing market.

For example, you might choose to take a blanket mortgage covering all properties, BUT perhaps the market softens and later you wish to sell a property.
