The auction method is the BEST way to flip real estate that you control - all cash is the way to go on flips - selling real estate you don't own is the highest leverage you can ever have.

What investment properties & methods or you most interested in?

What are some of the methods you guys employ in finding deals?

In particular, I'm looking for anyone with opinions/experience on best methods of finding and reaching out to owners of mid-to-large multi-units. 

If financed using the traditional method that’s about 1350 per month.

@Tyler Wisner you have some good suggestions above but many "buy and hold" investors look for 3 method of income on investment properties:Appreciation of the Property - Meaning the local economy is strong enough to support a healthy housing marketPrinciple Buy Down - Meaning every payment your renter makes to you pays down the principle balance of the mortgageCash Flow - the amount of money you earn each month that is OVER and ABOVE your expenses on the propertyIf you find a market where you can have these 3 items you should be able to have a good market to invest in.  

Your research access or method might be different than mine but I still have to do it. 

Here's what I mean:NORMAL BRRRR MethodPurchase with HMLRenovate with HMLRentRefinance with low rate 30 year loanRepeatUsing Renovation Loan....Let's call it BRRRRR Method (one extra 'R')Purchase with HMLRefinance that loan into Renovation loanRentRefinance with low rate 30 year loanRepeatSo under the 2nd choice, you would pay refinancing fees TWICE.  

put out several dozen on a Friday all over the city at Friday night at every intersection and stop sign .I call this method “ flooding the block “ 

It seems as if that method is weak on cash flow but good for equity.
