I have a hard time visualizing the target market for a property this big. in Laurel, MD, I have found that large properties with some privacy from the road, tend to attract a certain class that will lease out rooms (and even closets!)

The schools in the area rate 10 and 9's which is great so families could be the target audience. 

Somehow target your mail?

@Justin Coulson , I have a very targeted neighborhood, and walk around with my children every night.

If you're going to be wholesaler figure out what type of buyer you will be targeting.

I used listsource since it's what all my sources(from books to youtube) recommended.I am currently trying to find pre-foreclosures and tax lien preforeclosures leads using listsource and what I am finding in my market is when I search for properties in my target zip codes (sfr, duplex, triplex, quad) and then select pre-forclosure from the property tab select pre-forclosure my results drop to 0 :/I broadened my search to include all of the Minneapolis areas and I get just 248when I go to the foreclosure tab and select pending auction sale( i was instructed via youtube this is where I'd get people whose houses are headed to tax lien foreclosure but the date of the auction hasn't been set) and set it even a yr out my results are zero!

Term will run from 1-5 yrs. but getting old so, targeting 3 yrs. for a term.

For instance, the mortgage late list is great to target if you're a short sale realtor or investor and you'll get a great response rate.

Update:  The property I was targeting is no longer available, so no urgency and no need for a reverse 1031 anymore.But thanks for all the great advice, and feel free to continue the discussion for the benefit of others.

Rates are kind of all over the place in Rome. 3/2 apartments outside of down that aren't very desirable can be $750-850.Downtown lofts ON Broad Street (the main road in our town) are all between $1,100 and 1,800, with half the square footage as our house would offer.Downtown houses near ours, but with 1,000+ more sq/ft than ours...rent for $2,500 or more.To the best of my ability, once it is renovated, it will be very desirable to our target market tenants (young professionals).
