Pick one asset focus in your market (small multis or SFRs), define a tight buy box, and run a daily noise-to-numbers pipeline: pull listings, auto-scrape key fields, flag comps, and output a quick pass/fail so you can underwrite 5–10 a day and make offers.

Quote from @Casey Eiland: I’m noticing an interesting shift here in Columbus:• Inventory is finally starting to loosen up• Sellers are getting more realistic with pricing• Rents are still holding strong in most sub-markets• Small multis (duplex–quad) seem to be sitting longer than last year• But good value-add stuff is getting snapped up fastFrom what I’m seeing, it feels like one of the better windows we’ve had in a while to pick up small multifamily, especially anything with below-market rents or light cosmetic rehab potential.Curious what others think, are you being more aggressive right now, or staying cautious until rates move?

@Jack Roy buy Sam lunch, or at least a coffee, and pick his brain!

Picking one strategy limits you to that one strategy, which doesn't work on all deals. 

My accountant is not a real estate focused accountant so I am skeptical that I am stepping over dollars to pick up pennies by trying to do this myself.

Speed and communication.You want same-day responses, fast title pulls, and a closer who actually picks up the phone.

Also if there was anyone that's in Birmingham that i could pick their brain it would be fantastic.  

Curious how other landlords here are structuring DSCR loans for growth.A lot of our investor clients lean on DSCR because it focuses on the property’s income instead of personal W-2 income.If anyone’s using DSCR to pick up more rentals this year, what has your experience been?

I ask because I have family that owns in Hawaii and switched gears and started buying in Florida due to the better puchase prices and Short term rental markets picking up. 

i generally don't think this is the right way to pick a market.
