Once I was deployed on a submarine in the North Atlantic and they helped my wife with a 1031 exchange on the sale of a home and purchase of 2 other properties.

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

Just one example of a market getting overheated and then right-sizing.Same is going on with syndications, STRs and soon LTRs.BP took off after the Great Recession when investors could buy almost anything and rent it out for positve cashflow.

A paid off property throws off more cash than a leveraged property.

Quote from @Benjamin Blunt: What are the best strategies or tools that you use to find Off-Market Properties?

I did check Loopnet and it's all listed for sale by brokers and agents, so I don't think it is off-market -- right?

Over this time I have acquired my contractor team and have vetted them through my job as a property manager, figured out my strategy(Off Market/Deep buying) and location.

In Philadelphia the fundamentals are strong: leading industries/employers are in the Education and Medical fields which are known to be stable, proximity to NYC and DC, national airport, port city, affordability compared to mid-atlantic predecessors.

Just sell and pay off that loan or two.

Couple is divorcing, husband wants to keep the property; wants ex-wife's name off of property/loan.
