Instead of studying just what's on the market, try driving around communities that fit your model and look for properties that are not currently listed for sale.

We have had one of the tenants for some time and while she drives us crazy, when corrected she does make an effort to follow the rules of the house. 

It's now listed again...damnAnother one, been driving by a "for sale by owner", wanted to contact them to see if they would consider a seller finance.   

He apparently can't afford to retire until 70+ so somewhere he lost himself in the theory & abandoned the drive to achieve one of the most important goals we all have.

Hello, my name is Lindsay and I am a graphic designer for a UK-based publication, and this is my first post here.I have recently acquired a sum of around $1.7M USD and based on my thorough research, I've found Real Estate is the best (possibly safest) option for me.

You should at least try to drive by and peek into it if you can (if vacant anyway).

Time spent driving is wasted time and time is money.
