You can also go to code enforcement and tell them you have an unsafe building and you are the owner and are concerned for public safety.

Sent a P&S for a solid property in MA significant discount.  

How do I market to a specific neighborhood within a zip code?

You can even find coupons in our Investor Discount section of the site known as BP Perks.

The caller said "Hi, I'm from code enforcement..."

Curt Davis yes I'm very familiar with the 2 zip codes I'm targeting.

A premium asset will almost never sell at a discount/high cap rate.

Originally posted by @Lacy Goldman:  We've purchased HUD homes & sold them to investors using the following methods:Purchased the property outright, held it, then sold it- Not optimum because of closing costs but if purchased @ a deep enough discount it worksPut the property under contract in an LLC, then sold the LLC- Again not optimum because of costs to establish an LLC & the subsequent paperwork.  

For instance buying a 50k rental in the mid west may be small change to some so they say what the heck I don't need to see it I will shop just like I shop at Amazon and buy it basically on line.Others will spend much time and money checking it out.. flying there and making certain its for them.I do think one way to dial for dollars is to contact those that bundle it up for you IE turn key type companies.. and I think a lot of time can be saved by talking with a few reputable PM's in a given market.. they will for sure be able to tell you were the management intense areas are.. and one's that are easier for them to manage. ( Ie code for quality of tenant) 

I know people sell occupied rentals but I don't really want to discount it and for the price that I'd list it I'm not sure it would be an attractive investment for someone else.
