You can draw on a map the area you want to target, find tax delinquent properties, inherited properties, divorce filings, expired listilngs, absentee owners, you name it.

On to the next target.

However, my aim is to strictly target investor clientele, not retail home buyers and sellers.

I work for Deer Park, and the eastern side of Hamilton County is my target area for buy and hold.

What was your rehab cost target when you purchased? 

@Carlos Powell I used to target them specifically but found condemned houses had same potential less work to get, and always a supply (not always so with fire homes)

I typically look for zip codes, and wealth by zip code for targeting areas for investments. 

This can be done through targeted marketing campaigns or by contacting homeowners directly.Foreclosures: Foreclosed properties can sometimes be purchased at a discount, although they may require more work and repairs.Off-market properties: Some investors find good deals by looking for properties that are not actively being marketed for sale.

That said,if your target is travel nurses, rent-by-room is less desirable than having the whole place to themselves.

So it's more the idea of squeezing every penny out of investments to leverage into other properties that I'm targeting.
