Most appliance vendors have access to some fantastic warehouses but it can't hurt trying to find the party yourself.

@Colleen Ross Fantastic!

@Henish PulickalInteresting method for sourcing this deal.

When there are few comparables, are their other methods an appraiser will use when estimating value?

College towns can be fantastic as long as the university is thriving.

On my first investment properties (my husband and I were buying two at the same time), the lender quoted fantastic rates that the other lenders couldn't touch.  

Both have been fantastic and I’d recommend them as great resources to both, answer questions AND generate new ones!

I have a couple of empty units in So CA (Inland Empire - Riverside and Moreno Valley), and the usual methods of marketing are not working right now for me. 

Different points in the cycle require different methods to succeed.For whatever it's worth, I've been an investor since 2005.

This applies not only to being able to get cash when you need it through HELOC's, hard money lending, investor funding or other methods; but also to making sure you are prepared with the right contacts when opportunities present themselves.
