They are great and tenants love them too because they are VERY efficient.

Efficient communication and integrity are key.I appreciate it if you provide recommendations based on PERSONAL experience.

Economies of scale will be magnified if the units are in one place, however assuming you want a nicely maintained property you may lose some efficiency in a rehab, this is because many large apartment buildings have a lot of deferred maintenance and have not been taken care of by the seller. 

Lack of Volume: The Landbank is not the only entity with properties, there are a lot of wholesalers like HS Property Funds who have great deals, HUD Homestore lists deals, Fannie Mae Homepath, Freddie Mac Homesteps, you can reach out to other investors etc, many of you will already know how to drum up deals and invest via whichever marketing method or group of marketing methods you like to employ.Lack of Contractors: You have to have a good contractor, even the biggest contractors can only do so much and you need one that understands what it is like to work with the Syracuse code office, understands the market, is efficient, and can get the property within the standards of the Landbank.Bad Property Management: A good property management company can make or break your investment portfolio.

What's the most efficient way to get this done?

CPAs and wealth managers incentive for learning about the accreditation certifications and signing the letters is that he doesn’t want to lose clients.Anyway, third party accreditation services are low priced and very efficient, you should have no problem.

I know there are more efficient ways, But I am able to make a trip to the court house easily.

People care about their time, getting the right information, trust it will be done, and efficiency.
