The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.

You need to make sure your product isnt directly competing with all the new construction units tbh at have come or will be coming online soon. 

Glad to be part of an on-line real estate group.

Beyond these details, I’m excited to dive back into the basics and beyond—open houses, expired listings, online marketing, and more.

Needless to say, I've been scouring for information on YouTube, BiggerPockets, online websites etc.

To really paint a picture for you...This is equivalent to you paying money to get a list of vegans that are also animal rights activists, to try to sell them baby-cow burgers.Your intentions are great and if all you were trying to do, was to help others I would put on my cheerleader outfit and pompoms and cheer you on.

You can't charge for the service animal dog and the cat could easily become an ESA. 

I am currently planning to try to go to some local and online networking events to make some connections.

You can find loads of articles, videos, and online courses that'll give you a solid foundation in construction basics.Network and Find a Mentor: Try connecting with people who've been in the game for a while.

If you buy a house that's a little nicer than you are in currently then it could make moving a lot easier.Multi-family is tough right now because a lot of new supply has come online, so rents have been soft.
