The other option would be for the homeowner to tear down the garage which greatly reduces the attractiveness of the property.

I tried to market them as a live in one side and have the renter pay your mortgage but that did not attract any buyers of substance.The other challenge right now is to find a bank that will loan on the low cost rental properties.

If I can keep marketing cost low and attract enough attention to fill a reasonable number of seats there should be at least a small profit from the event.

A card to attract buyers should say "Join my buyers list".

And a website is important if you plan to attract sellers via website, obviously...

In my research I've found that anything below 100-200 or more units just isn't attractive to the big boys, while anything 5 units & over seems too big and intimidating for most SFR investors.

This attracts different investors.

An auctioneer in my area advertises "absolute above $X,XXX.XX" This tends to be a pretty good compromise for the seller and attracts me as a buyer if the reserve is know and low enough for me.

Until then I expect it to be a solid cashflowing property.My state of residency, PA, is where I already have my partnership in the one area of the state I find attractive.

You have to deliver value to attract customers.Presumably this is for your brokerage business.
