If you have time to dig through tax lists and send out mailers that seems to be an extremely effective strategy for finding low-cost deals.

I would say average purchase for a extremely distressed fixture would be 500k starting.

I have heard of the method of cold calling craigslist rental ads and asking if they would rather sell. 

So I’ve never done this before, I am extremely worried I won’t be able to find anyone to purchase the property, the property itself is cheap, and the building itself doesn’t need much repairs and when repaired can be 3x it’s worth, I don’t know if I should flip or whole sale, I understand I’m being vague and can clarify in any comments I just would love to get everyone’s input, Thanks!!!

Lots of relocation among the state - but demand still remains extremely high!

This again just highlights the extreme lack of inventory of quality starter homes in good areas.

Single family homes and small multifamilies are extremely high demand and escalating.  

Interest rates are extremely low.

We feel extremely fortunate to have made the decisions we have based on learning what we could from bigger pockets.Our problem now is that we would very much want to purchase one or two more homes but unfortunately as the main source of income, my job was eliminated this past May due to Covid.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to decide what to go to college for.
