Meet with an investor focused agent, they will set you up with an email list of properties in your area that meet your criteria. 4.

With the number of available properties being that low you could honestly analyze every one of them so the specific zip codes and areas aren't as important as if you were looking with criteria that offered hundreds of results.I'd recommend getting on the list for some local wholesalers to help and increase the number of potential properties that you are exposed to. 

Until you have listed and tried to lease an affordable priced rental, it is hard to fathom the intensity of call volume that a single rental listing can generate.

Would love to connect and give you the list of meet-ups.

Alternatively, a licensed agent could do a "net listing" with a Seller.

My agent brought me a property that was soon to be listed last year and the listing agent just sat on it and sat on it and 8 weeks went by while he showed it to me and a bunch of people but never listed it.

If your property shows well and is listed for a good price maybe $50-100 less than the competition you shouldn't have a hard time renting. 

I know they listed it for rent during the slow months of the holiday season but still, is that really why it wasn't being rented?

Mixed use Property "listed" at 300k, store front not rented and unfinished.
