Strategies for 'farming' an area. Creating your own lead list

[Aaron Lawson]

Hi all,

I'm an investor and I have a certain part of town that I would like to catalog for every single unit that is listed as a duplex, up to 8-12 unit apartment complex, and then start working through that list and making regular contact with the owners.

Does anyone have a tested and efficient approach for combing a specific town/zip code for potential multifamily properties to seek out ? Is this best to self perform, or is this something better sourced out to Listsource, title companies or realtors?

Much Thanks,

Aaron L
