Some different ways that have worked for me are writing tailored letters to property owners who's property fit what I'm looking for (ie pitched roof, mostly brick, etc), sending emails and calling for rent ads on Craigslist and seeing if they are interested in selling.  

I'm sure some of you may have heard of this but I know there are many who haven't looked into this yet.Proximity marketing has been used by large retail stores for a couple years now.

When we had a vacancy I had to tell them to place an ad. 

Looking to pick the brain of high end North Dallas buyers...What are you finding to be the best financing strategy when taking on large risk?

TLDR: find a portfolio buyer for the residential units, and exchange all that capital for a downpayment on a large commercial property. any thoughts/comments/critiques are much appreciated. dan

The added cost might be worth it to potential buyers.

1. office condo exchange to 2 separate properties (property could be different types) both our names on both properties2. office condo exchange to 2 separate properties one under my name and the other under his name.3. 1 of my property, 1 of his property, office condo exchange to one multifamily apartment - adjust by adding capital so we end up 50/50.4. 1 of my property, 1 of his property, office condo exchange to two multifamily apartment (one under his name and one under my name)I'm sure there a several minor details that needs to be worked out but we are just in the brainstorming stage.

Absent that, and to answer your questions, I guess you could take all this on, get an ad in Craigslist and place the condo in Zillow.

As of January 1, 2013, it explicitly added debt buyers to be included under the act.If this is true, is there anyway around it?

Lease documents in order.. and policy, house rules written in place..now is the time to have it all set so you don't have to add amendments later.When posting your ad be specific,, not vague,, if you only want 1 person,, then list 1 br apartment occupancy limit 1 person,, list your rent criteria.. this is pre screening your tenant, and go over it again when they set an appointment up so your not wasting your time..
