If you don't have the new address on file with the post office, and somebody in New York tries to mail a letter to "123-B Oak Street, Knoxville, TN", the automated sorting equipment in New York will decide that 123-B is a bad address and mark that letter to be returned to the sender. 

To find true "off market" deals you will have to implement a direct to owner marketing campaign (direct mail, cold calls, email blasts). 

Im looking to have some automated system to help with a rental, which system should we go with?

Vrbo and I believe Airbnb has this automated.

After listening to bigger pockets podcasts and reading a few of Dan Turners books and forum posts on bigger pockets I learned about the house hack strategy and would like to implement it by pursuing the purchase of multi-family property with my second purchase. 

Excited to see what I can implement within the next year. 

I wouldn’t say right now is the best time for deeds, unfortunately, I know a few people that have done them for a while but because it’s so automated a lot more competition has come about.

But again its always good to implement your ideas.With CRM are you thinking about using?

If you're looking to start with a small amount of cash and implement the BRRRR strategy, wholesalers are your friends:)
