We currently target deals that fall through and then make a no-contingency cash offer to hold their original closing date.

Toughest part will be figuring out what market you want to target, what teams to trust and employ to manage your properties for you as I wouldn't recommend trying to manage the property yourself.

There is an app but it’s quite rudimentary so if you need anything detailed it’s better to just use the web version.

I'm assuming there's lots of stuff out there that's way cheaper.I originally wanted to just buy a couple lists of 10k numbers each of targeted motivated sellers, and then hand them off to a VA company that will dial them, but I was told it'll be a much better business if I get proficient myself and then hire my own VA's and train them.

For appreciation, target areas with strong job and population growth.

Inherited tenants are usually a negative, however in that area leaving the duplex totally vacant makes it a target for thieves to come in and steal your pipes, furnace, and hot water tanks.
