It may take some knocking on doors though.

We seem to have been lucky since we get a fair amount of interest but never have folks knocking down our doors.

Save that for the next phase.If you can, find something distressed and fix it up yourself or with some affordable partners.If Minneapolis is super hot now, which I'm sure it is, drive around and find these kind of properties, knock on the door and ask who they pay their rent to.

I can only hope and knock on some door, right?

He mowed my vacant lots and a couple other random properties and I knocked a couple hundred bucks off each month.  

I have an 8-plex and you have to knock SO hard on the doors for them to hear it that you end up with the neighbors coming to their doors too.

Devote time to study Power Prospecting - be and act like a pro- for now forget mailings, silly yellow letters and hand written notes mailed to owners - be pro active - go to auctions, call or knock on doors of expired listings and FSBOs, get a tax sales list for your county - walk and talk and drive for deals.

I went out door knocking and taking pictures of the exterior of properties that had appeared to be be in need of some TLC.  

It just seems like every time I turn around, something comes up that knocks down my monthly income.

I do invest outside of my state (California) so I can't knock it and I don't love the idea of 4-caps here in San Diego.
