It depends on how far below the typical price point that is but frankly I would just comb the listings as they come up based on an automated alert and Call the listing agent, it is not worth it to pay 1-5 k  extra at that price point (unless you are the RE agent getting those $$). 

I use rentspree credit check AND I get screen shots of bank balances AND 3 mo of bank account PDFS I comb through in detail. 

Get price reductions for lack of data and or access.Be sure to go to the expense of paying for a contractor to go through the building with a fine tooth comb to  determine the condition of the building.

The IRS requires this (I believe), since they can't be expected to monitor all foreclosure notices and comb them.

I would recommend sticking to off-market properties, the MLS inventory is combed through daily and nothing sits for longer than a few hours if it's good. 

If you're in a hot market with lots of investors combing the MLS, then make your cash offer with a large EMD, 10 day close (or less) and proof of funds.  

Building your own excel model & just combing Zillow in whatever market you're looking to purchase/running the numbers and finding accurate comps is a great way to start.In this market, you're going to need to look at a lot of properties before you find one worth it (largely due to low inventory & high mortgage rates).

We have a data base of about 14k and recently engaged a data co to comb through and get better phone/emails as some of the entries may be on the dnc now and some still have aol lol.

So it’s just waiting for a market that may never come while combing every inch of my target area every day while trying to figure out ways to get consistent passive income that’s provable so that I can qualify for a higher mortgage.
