our market is in Columbus Ohio and we are currently doing infill as a strategy. single family home by right can be built on any infill lot in columbus but for multifamily this strategy becomes part of entitlements and rezoning. 

Quote from @Dan Deppen: I do something similar.

If you’re doing BRRRR, know that bad appraisals can and do happen in Detroit.

How do you provide that?

That's definitely a good exercise and one we've been doing more and more lately (and thereby selling and selling more these days). 

We determined the best thing to do would be to sell and not be landlords.

I would suggest finding those who are doing direct mail to note owners and get assets they can't afford.

I have done quite a few different things, one of the best to find out who is doing the most volume is go onto good and search for the "we buy houses companies" in the area you are looking to invest.

If so, how did you do it and did you have success? 

It's another to do so in a way that makes a new investor feel bad.
