Make sure your contract provides you with permission to market the property, which includes marketing on the MLS. 

Understanding the market is crucial for making informed investment decisions.

This is a much more effective approach to finding below-market deals, especially as a new investor.Good luck Shenell!

But the biggest takeaway is, if you are only making 6% returns in cash flow and you are not assuming any appreciation, I would buy a money market today.  

I've done my research and feel that this is slightly below market price.I plan to move into downstairs unit once I can get current tenants out. 

But if I'm targeting seller-financed sellers, I'm not really targeting distressed sellers.For example: I came across a seller finance deal for a 1.1M 6-unit MF property, but the owner wanted 100k over what I thought was the market value. 

Maybe have them do your marketing. 

I'm seeing a lot of properties go in 24 hours or less after hitting the market. - The suburbs and areas with desirable school districts are HOT.

@Mark WalkerIt truly depends upon the market.

I am partial to the midwest for cash flow and good appreciation if you pick the right market.
