I have bought a lot of smaller multi-family and I will quite often put it under contract before I go look at it because I'm familiar with all of the product available in my area and know what I'm looking for.I don't do that on larger multi-family but I have a good idea of what I'm looking for so I would not go look at it unless it met everything I was looking for on paper and that only happens very rarely.So let me challenge you a bit.

How do you think of good ideas ?

Any other ideas on how to attract more leads into the pipeline, that can convert to qualified tenants.Thanks a ton for any advice...

Is a sales job selling something random a good idea ?

., but I am just trying to get a general idea of how people might approach lead generation using the monthly sheriff sales data.

Condos are generally not a  good idea because of the HOA fee.

I use Craigslist, Rentometer and Zillow to give me a good idea but I also know typical rents in neighborhoods that I focus in.2. 3 bed, 2 bath is always great.

Although this may not be the ideal property to purchase, that doesn't mean holding on to it is a horrible idea.

Any ideas on how to respond?  

I have a full time job so I don't need the money but have always been fascinated with the idea of flipping properties and renting them.
