If it does require money to search for good deals in apartments, houses, and etc. how can I keep it as minimal as possible?

@Perry Farella Do you suggest to put the house under contract and then open up escrow & title search?

A good property manager would cost you less than the amount you just lost trying to manage it yourself.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.You can start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Daniel,Please look into https://www.prospectnow.com This is the most effective way to narrow down your search by City, property type, size etc. 

Funny to find this thread as I just typed into search for this exact question ans it happens to be in nt atate!

So I stumbled upon this website PrivateMoneyGoldmine.com doing a google search. 

@Pradyumna Vanam How is your search coming along? 

Miller What you're describing is called a BRRR (Buy -> Rehab -> Rent -> Refinance) if you do a search for that term you will find tons of guidance on how to pull it off.I don't have any advice on how to do BRRR's because like @Jim Pellerin I do sandwich lease options.

Try looking in the Events section at the top of page, go to network, and do a search for your area.

If you would like for me to set up an ARMLS search for you, just send me your email and property criteria.
