HI Susan, 1- Pick someone whos work you can go look at and obtain a reference or two from past clients.2- highly dependant. ideally a couple months3-4-heloc

Maybe best ideal is to just get the deal accepted first with a price im comfortable at and try to factor in enviction/potential income loss from low rents into my purchase price. 

Maybe even a 2+1 since the schools are not that great in Indianapolis and my ideal tenants would be a young couple/with a small child.

.- Go back farther in time than the 6 month ideal for closed comps.

I have heard it at least a dozen times across half a dozen podcasts that if I am not willing to consistently reach out to the same people with my DMM campaign (ideally 6+ times each) I might as well not bother DMM at all.What I need to know now is how to deploy my time and money in the most effective way to maximize the number of good leads.Advice for systematization and automation is of particular interest, but any and all advice is appreciated!

So far I have collected ideas from the local groups and also local neighborhood friends that have told me a Starbucks, florist or even a potential doctors office on the second floor would be ideal.

Ideally one person who could do it all, but if not, would love to hear about multiple people.Separately, where else would I look for such folks aside from Yelp?

Understood who his ideal buyer would be. i'll share more in the other thread. 

The ideal BRRRRs will allow you to recapture all these costs when you go to refi so you don't have any money left in the deal.

I am looking to buy a duplex in New Orleans--ideally I can house hack for about a year then move out and it will be a cash-flowing rental property.
