.: Would have bought one higher quality asset (Class A or B) in Indianapolis metro area and not two Class C homes "cash flow on paper" which in reality I'm negative most months (sold one home to cut my losses) - constant repairs called in by tenant.

Enough to make a difference but not drive them out and have to deal with the turnover if you would prefer not to right now. 

I try to screen by asking simple questions like credit score job history etc., I end up lowering the rental price below market and I still get the same behavior.  

@Maddy Morell - If you're able to drive up the NOI that much (29k to 53k) would you consider a refinance when that is done?

THe other is in major cities where it could be street by street for type of neighborhood.

The sale is on the courthouse steps by auction to the highest bidder for cash.

I'm not in that market, But I have a feeling there were still brokers doing deals all summer, Agree with the sentiment here that what you do today comes around 60-90 days down the road, niche down to something that is still moving in your market currently, and figure out a couple things you can do every day to drive business in that niche.2 posts a day on these forums has been part of my daily routine for over a year at this point, had plent of posts before that but really making it a consistent part of what I do has only been a year, and I can tell you without a doubt just from those couple mins every day, it drives business so can be as simple as that. 

I wouldn't use FF as a place to drive comps.

Buying a house for most people is a matter of a known number their income is divided by.

U need to narrow it down by what you can afford..
