Thanks for the heads up on military groups, this didn’t cross my mind as most of the people I interact with don’t have the same mind set for their money.

Not out of want/desire but because I was doing so much work on rentals that I had crossed the line. 

I want places with the potential to add cosmetic value, with sound bones, and a nice yard, as that makes my property attractive to tenants with pets, increasing my applicant pool.")2) Make a list of every property that has sold in the last 90 days in your area.

Hello, I’m new to wholesaling, I’m in the Milwaukee area and I’m having a hard time navigating Wisconsin public records to get a pre foreclosure list I’ve been going on auction.com and crossing over to Zillow for my leads.

If I account for all the expenses (fingers crossed) in the calculator, then it “seems” fool proof.

I also currently work full-time in property management and have experience working with tenants and building financial models.I plan to utilize the BiggerPockets platform to share all the experience and book knowledge I have in hopes that it will provide value to someone who is in the same or different point in their career. 

If you're in software development, you're good at what you do, and you're not focused on some bespoke in-house developed platform that no one outside of your organization has ever heard of - Austin will be a better job market for you than Philly. 

Also note not all landlord's policies will cover STR and you need to disclose this on your application.

We just put our rental up on Zillow, and in the 48 hours that it has been for rent, I have received 32 inquiries and four applications.

@Mark Vesu you could also try out FB marketplace and include the details there to filter unwanted applicants.
