All of the items they require should already be in place for good landlords. The problem is the bad ones. Now the city has to step in and regulate everyone and charge new fees to pay for all of it. It's always the bad apples that ruin it for everyone.

Welcome to the area.  You can check out meetup.com for clubs and networking events.  I am in Richardson so I don't know realtors in your area, but you will find them once you start talking to people.

You can try sending letters and postcards to homeowners in the areas you are interested in.  It seems a bit old school but it works.

 Some people will be helpful and others will not. Ignore the unhelpful ones.

 This is a very good idea.

Maybe I am old school, but I would never do a revenue split deal with a stranger.
There are so many variables on how things to go wrong already.  You don't need that on top if it.

Maybe I am old school, but I like to work with people face to face.  I do not like electronic-only deals.  They always seem a little fishy to me.

I would ask for a reduction in the selling price.  I would add a buffer to cover any unforseen issues that arise when you start doing the work.  It never hurts to add a little margin and repairs are a great justification for getting a lower price.

If banks wont give you what you need, you can look for private lenders in your area.

I would start eviction.  Somehow, people move things along more quickly when there is a deadline.  The last thing you want to do is to be stuck 2-3 months down the road with them still promising to move out.
