FernandoThere are no condos in Fremont, Union City, or Newark for sale, or that have sold this year in the 350K price range.

This makes it easier for me and creates a sense of scarcity with potential buyers that can lead to offers.Legally speaking you cannot publicly market a property for sale that you do not own without a real estate license.

@Josh Fernandez When you buy a foreclosed home you still have to go through the traditional closing steps as if you were buying a traditional sale.

It really isn't that hard to come across a 4 plex in Minneapolis, but many of the ones you will find listed for sale are likely not a deal that will provide much cash flow unless you put a large amount down. 

Why not do a M453 (monetized installment sale)? 

appraisal  verify rental rates ... check crime and school maps etc. also keep in mind these assets trade at very stable price points.. so don't get sucked into you have to buy today or it wont be there .. that could be true and you may have to wait a week or two for a new one to pop up.. but don't get sucked into what I have seen others post about Morris invest.. they show a property you call back an hour later they say sorry someone bought it... causing the buyer to irrationally jump at the next one.. classic take away sales tactics employed by that vendor. ( from what others have written about on BP)

Make sure you put the contingencies on the sale contract that will let you either renegotiate or back out of the contract if you have to.Also when you put the house under contract, make sure you deliver the contract to a title company or attorney, with the earnest deposit, in order to show that you have a viable and executed sale contract.

That being said, rent growth has been very stable and is much more impervious to the cyclical sales market. 

Please check with your state's laws if this is the case.You may want to have an attorney do the following thingsReview the Purchase/sale agreementCreate/review the lease agreementCreate/review the partnership agreement(if you decide to partner up)evict a tenant2.

Just do a M453 sale (monetized installment sale) like I did to sell my own rental property here in California.
