If an agent is involved your chances of having a meaningful conversation with the seller is limited. 

Just the other weekend, I was driving around to get familiar with the local market for an open house I was hosting the next day.

After doing some initial research, I decided to check out some zip codes in Philly as that's an hour's drive from where I live - 19132, 19133, 19134.

A few tactics that come to mind are: - creating a single listing page (landing page) that captures contact info - paid social ads that drive to the single listing page What's the perfect use case for a single listing page?

This would be assuming you find a good deal where you can drive a lot of value through the rehab process.

The meaningful relationships are earned by being a trusted advisor  who provides accurate information even if it means your client will be less competitive on that particular opportunity compared to the buyer who arrives at their purchase number based on bad advice. 

Stessa's reports are great, but the sync issues with financial institutions drive me nuts.

Whether it be driving you around, going to propertys to take pictures, or even following up with owners to close or continue a deal.

I don't know about Memphis but I also invest in Indianapolis and my property taxes went up 17% this year.Another consideration: Nevada has low property tax rates and is a short flight or long drive away.

While driving for dollars, I’ve come across a neighborhood that’s older but is surrounded by new construction.
