Hey Chris, for the most part i been online lately, my marketing has either been done by Bandit Signs, direct mail, dropcards, and i had lil bit success in the past but back then my mind wasn't clear on things like it is now and i refuse to door knock especially in the area im in, i tried it before it's not many owners motivated to sell, around my way is lack of owners just mostly people that are renting a property.

Unless you are a well known investor with a great track record of success, zero interest is a huge red flag.

But if you had success on the last deal you purchased from him, perhaps he manages all his units similarly and there will be equal opportunity to add value.Is you plan to blanket this property on the next one?

Choose your tenants wisely and know the laws and you can be successful landlord anywhere.

In you startup phase, the answer may be different than if you are rich and successful.

I am curious to know if anyone here has successfully done the same. 

I had success with RE/MAX. 

Here is the formula to extreme success.1.

If the first purchase is a success, there's no doubt that we will do more business together in the future.

In the latest group we took over, existing tenants were traumatized by a recent bed-bug infestation (thank goodness the treatment appears to have been successful).
