That along with searching the MLS daily the deals should pop up.

As far as your next steps, start looking at ALL property for sale in that area, have a realtor start giving you email drips daily for those zip codes.

My day job as a real estate agent has me looking at properties and in the MLS daily, so I see what homes sell for.

@David G  I know some developers used/invited me at planetbids, but you have to invite bidders. if you do this regularly, this might be good for you. cmdgroup also is good, most govt contractors/architects use them, so be prepared to get ridiculous bids (unionized price), they have a good number of subscribers that normally get daily bid alerts, maybe you will get lucky.bidsync also is like cmdgroup.be sure to put price range, some contractors setup their alerts to only 10k-200k, some only want to get 10m-100m.Good luck, hope this helps.

Not only do we have daily feet on the street in these locations, but we are also unconditionally committed to property values (read: comps) in our neighborhoods because we are starting new homes there every day and our prices have risen aggressively since 2012.

I walk through properties daily to bid out the repair or rehab work.

If you don't have the time to be there nearly daily, at least first thing in the morning, it's not likely you can GC yourself.

Do you have your realtor sending you auto MLS updates daily?

Forced air heat is by far the best to have in a rainy locale like the Pacific Northwest, as it helps prevent mold and moisture problems.

My recommendation of out of staters is true turnkey projects where the investor is truly hands-free and not involved in daily property management and intricacies involved in Class C- and D properties.Just my opinion.....Thanks again.
