I like to pop in during a tradesman repair to see the condition of the apartment; I also am required to be present when the city inspector is there every two or so years and that's always nice as well. 

Perfectly normal and that's where the good deals are (mom and pop sellers)

Make it pop! 

Columbus is popping. 

Smaller mom and pops are getting hounded by callers offering to buy...Understand you're competing against 100s of other cold callers, MM, CBRE, etc.

There aren't a whole lot of 2-4 units in those areas, and when they do pop up they are very overpriced. 

Quick note: I regularly check the events page, but nothing consistent seems to be popping up in my area so I thought a forum post might be the best route forward. 

I paid cash for 28 homes in Las Vegas and paid only 30 cents on the dollar for the homes during the 2008 - 2010 bubble pop and was getting $1100 to $1600 for each single-family home.

Hello Denise, Seeing a lot of STR questions popping up in the forum, and large transition from LTR.

This is killing small mom n pop landlords.
