Also, what experienced (or lack of) you have.There is a world of difference between projects that are stabilized and will cash flow almost immediately vs. projects that are in distress and require a lot of work just to get them habitable before units can even be rented.Another way of getting to know agents is to identify the market and then go on to Loopnet / CBRE / Marcus & Millchap / etc.

So as I write this process again for the second time I am realizing that my struggle would be identifying good sources for market indicators and assessing the indicators to the point that they would influence my decision.

My recommendation would to be to create a targeted marketing plan to identify and acquire off-market properties and/or to establish relationships with local, reliable wholesalers.

So my partner and I are wrapping up the loose stuff in our deal and I am preparing for my Next Awesome Stuff.I am looking to work with people who want to start generating passive income through rentals by helping them identify, purchase, and run rental properties.  

That way the document processor or negotiator does not have to wonder if you forgot something.Write on bank statements with explanations of every deposit that is not from a readily identifiable source, such as non-payroll deposits.

I would make sure you can go through the property with a general contractor to identify all Rehab and future CapEx requirements.  

This gets the borrowers qualified with a live underwriter with no property identified (property tbd).

Let me know if you need help in identifying properties.  

Just make sure you have all your ducks in a row-Pre-qual letter from your lender or proof of funds for cash-Earnest money of $500 for properties under $50k, $1000 for above $50k-Identify a title company in the area that is willing to close a HUD.  

Once you identify the strategies that are best for your portfolio, then you can find 3 or 4 marketplaces that meet that criteria and drilling further to the investments you find there.If you have any other questions, just let me know.
