It's very difficult to find off-market deals with predictable upside opportunity.  

Let's assume that the neighborhood is a C class and the median income of the city is greater than 3X of the market rent.Here are some of the considerations I've come up with so far:- Units are in need of renovation and capex is too high or not available- Unit quality is not the same as market - Seller is worried about losing tenants due to increase- Vacancy rates are high or filling units have been difficult- Rent increase would take multiple increases over multiple lease periods to get to market rate if seller is trying to retain the same tenant- Seller inherited property and just want to liquidate- Seller needs to liquidate quickly (financial burden, sickness, quick exit from land-lording)It seems like I might be missing a warning sign about a deal if they are selling with current rents that are under market; but again, this seems to be most of the properties I've underwritten.And in the same vein, what should I be worried about when purchasing a deal with under market rent with the intention of raising them after purchase. 

I've trained people at my jobs when I was a senior accountant to controller.I've used Yardi Enterprise (old desktop client software)Yardi Voyager 6s & 7sYardi Genesis2Reason why I say you won't be able to find a tutor is because no one is going to spend $15K a year to use as a training platform to mentor and tutor people.

Again, treating folks with housing support funds with the same dignity and respect as everyone else, usually nets quality clients that listen and do their best to follow the rules.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

That just has been a go to added coverage here for my clients.  

I've shown clients/partners properties everywhere from Rockford to Kankakee, doing what I can to show them that sweet spot.  

Working with a CPA or financial planner can help optimize tax strategies and ensure the best approach for your goals.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

I put quotes because its simple but many people make it more difficult.
