I have been researching the different financing methods, and would prefer to use portfolio lending for its better rates on my first flip.

Landlord laws are very favorable in this area, you can typically get someone out in 30 days or potentially less with the cash for keys method. 

You already know they're calculating using a method that's not 'honest', so figure out what each unit can bring in with a yearly rental.

I contacted the tenants in every method that I had from the property manager including call/email/mail/posted letters on their doors to let them know where to mail checks and how to set up online payments.

Hey everyone.I’ve been into Kris Krohn’s videos on his “modified” lease option method for some time now.

The WM Market, The D&R Market, etc.

@Julio R Gonzalez When you say niche, are you referring to a type of property you are looking for?

@Matt R.

It seems like that would be a more effective way to scale quicker.Like i said i'am just confused on which method would be more effective, and the pros/cons of each. 

What methods are you using to find your properties?
