@Jon Frederickson you need to put together a solid plan of action in terms of how you are going to approach the business and get a deal done.

I just closed two refi's with him and it was incredibly easy. 

I had been told by my realtor that the bank now own the property but it has been more than 2 years and it haven’t been listed for sale yet. is there any other way to approach at this home?

I’ll definitely keep that in mind when I approach them about it.

I was approached recently by someone asking me to mentor them in wholesaling. 

@Aidan Mulligan If I'm approaching closing on a property I immediately do a text blast to all of my current tenants that I have a new property coming available and I will pay they made $250 finders fee if they refer me to a possible tenant that takes it, with approved application of course.

My questions are: What is the best approach to finding properties that will cash flow when the general rental income for a given area is low relative to the price of properties?

I don't know what is the best approach and how investment partnership should typically work. 

Are you successful in this approach?

@Daniel Hansen your approach will get you a long way and could help you to build a relationship with your managing broker that extends beyond being paid an hourly rate for your work.My suggestion would be to keep sourcing off market deals for you to work on together.
