Oh, so true! Nothing beats knocking on doors to gather data. I’ve done the same thing in our area, outside of campus rental areas, where rents are generally well known. The side benefit has sometimes been that I’ve picked up a buyer - someone who’s ready to leave the rental market and buy their first home. It’s also provided some interesting leads on sellers who may be looking to unload their properties - at least, according to the tenants. Let’s see - a tradeoff between wearing out some shoe soles and picking up some great clients. That’s an easy one!
