With so much marketing smoke a mirrors... the only way to determine who is legit is to build organic relationships with real accredited pure passive investors.

Thanks for the input, but...Sussing someone out purely (or even largely) based on a credit report?

I have always been interested in Real Estate, dreamt the Monopoly dreams and started to work my strategy without any guidance but on pure desire and gut instinct.

By chance I met the owner at the building during the viewing and in a short chat managed to find out that he was a property developer, he owned 3 units in the particular building and he was selling off all his rental units to focus purely on property development, which was his core business.

I understand that the market is rough right now and I need to be patient, but I'm struggling with that.I'm looking at this location purely for convenience sake to my place of work.

@Joy D Pulliam you would probably need to physically talk to 300+ people before you start seeing results. 

If they became defensive instead, just apologize (maybe look a little confused), and say with a casual tone that the sooner you can see the inside (purely for the purposes of seeing what condition it's in and taking some photos to show your "partner," whether they actually exist or not) and you just thought it made sense to get it out of the way.

@Joy James sure you can PM and we can take over there if that helps !

I haven't submitted an offer or had an inspection yet, but based purely on these numbers it seems to make sense.  

NOw those are great rentals.. you can hardly hurt them and to do a turn over cost very little.. one bathroom one kitchen.. little square box.they have zero curb appeal .. but as a pure rental.. when you look at some of the other ones i looked at  bigger houses big sq footages those are going to lose money over time in the rental game.
