If I'm building the list some other way (e..g, I'm driving for dollars) I look it up in public records to see if the last sale date is 15 years or more in the past.

Slated to grow by 4% in the next 12 months.With areas in transition you really have to drive them.

We are interested in flipping but are split on rentals as I feel it would help my wife to be able to quit(she drives an hour to work) sooner.  

During the latest and greatest podcast featuring Jay Papasan, Jay brought up an interesting point made by Trump that he learned nothing when the markets were good and everything in down markets (I'm sure I butchered the quote, but I was driving and wasn't able to write it down!).

So far I have a list (500) of absentee owners I purchased from list source, and a list of 80+ homes that I got from driving for dollars.

And hey, it is a free resource that you can listen to while you commute or drive around.I wish you all the best with your new venture.

Very pleasing to see your introduction showing you are keen to jump in at the deep end.I'm not an expert at analysis, but I like learning, especially from these sort of useful details, and have read a lot of other responses to similar questions.The first thing I noticed is that your NOI looks to be out of whack.

I definitely plan to drive around the neighborhood and take a look at the property.

Off market stuff, realtors, driving around, they come to me.

Build back links and drive traffic to it (bigger pockets is a good back link).
