I look for high equity properties, expired listings, vacant homes, properties owned by tired landlords and other such filters.When I find a property, I contact the owner with this message:"HiThis is Chetan.

You should feel good that you broke even, but you probably bought too high and estimated way too low.

debt coverage is a greater obstacle...than appraisal at 75-80% LTV" - 100% agree...DSC is determining loan proceeds in this high rate environment, not LTV.

I found out an extra payment goes alot further on high interest rate.

Mapping and GIS are great too, but we'll stick to the nuts and bolts here.My question is, with regard to providing high quality, investment-savvy title research, do you also make a habit of jumping down to City Hall or another series of municipal buildings to check for zoning, permitting, and utility issues in addition to your courthouse work?

Conduct thorough market research to identify target areas with high investor demand, distressed properties, and motivated sellers.

Unless you have really high interest or short amortization  hard money loans this will not increase your cash flow.

Haven't purchased anything recently due to inflated prices/ high interest rates.

I personally like to buy real estate that has A) excellent long-term prospects ie. area growth, commercial vibrancy, high housing demand, rising rental rates and B) positive or at least neutral cash flow.

Plus you could be out of place in a mastermind with experienced operators discussing high level strategies and issues, whereas you may have basic questions and issues.
