Question: what should I do to filter through the noise to find the qualified tenants and focus on getting them to come to the showings and apply?

Also, looking for a investor friendly real estate agent that doesn't have a problem with sending in below market offers. v/r,Dom

My offer on this triplex is below the value of some duplexes thats been sold recently and the tax accessors value is higher than my offer.

My plan is to continue investing there, I have a good paying job so I live as far below my means as I can to save money and keep investing. 

(Note: if the amount was below $150k, you would have some limited room to save on taxes, using losses from rentals.

As someone who lost over $100k in new construction (you can listen to my podcast on BP if you want to hear more about it, in my signature below), and about the same as you if you factor lost appreciation, losing that kind of money is a very tough lesson.

I’m looking to purchase a fourplex that is currently 100% occupied with tenants that have been paying rent $600-$800 below current market rents.

I bought it for $80k below the most recent comp in the building AND the area is blowing up.
