To do this, you can increase your odds by finding more deals. Who's more likely to get a cheap apartment building, an investor that looks through the MLS listings and calls it a day, or the one that uses ten resources? Here are those ten: </p> <p>1. Look in old papers to find &quot;For Rent&quot; ads. Call if they are a few weeks old. The landlord may be ready to sell, especially if he hasn't yet rented the units out. </p> <p>2. Look up old FSBO ads. Call on two-month-old &quot;For sale By Owner&quot; ads, and if they haven't sold, they may be ready to deal. Owners often give up the effort, but still would love to sell. Help them out! </p> <p>3. Drive around looking for &quot;For Sale By Owner&quot; signs. Owners often don't want to pay to keep the ad in the paper every week, so you won't see all properties there. </p> <p>4. Find abandoned properties. That's a pretty clear sign that the owner doesn't want to deal with the property. He might sell cheap. </p> <p>5. Talk. Let people know you are looking and sometimes the properties will come to you. There are a lot of owners out there who want to sell, but haven't yet listed their property. </p> <p>6. Talk to bankers. You might get a foreclosed rental property cheaper if you buy it before they list it with a real estate agent. </p> <p>7. Offer someone a finder's fee. There are people that always seem to hear about the good deals. Have such people coming to you. </p> <p>8. Eviction notices. If your local papers publish eviction notices, or if you can get the information at the courthouse, it can be useful. A landlord who just went through the procees of evicting tenants is a likely seller. </p> <p>9. Use the internet. Go to a search engine and enter the type of real estate you are looking for, along with the city you want to invest in. You never know what you might find. </p> <p>10. Put an ad in the paper. &quot;Looking for rental properties to buy,&quot; might be sufficient to generate a few calls. </p> <p>There is a lot more to learn to do it right, but finding good properties is a good place to start for rental property investment. </p> <p><b>About The Author</b><br> &nbsp;</p> <p>Steve Gillman has invested in real estate for years.
