I coach people full-time and I think the biggest mistake is "to piss off a seller with the voicemail,"
I don't care if you use ringcentral or Google voice, a motivated seller when they call needs a professional to listen to them.
If you're too busy to answer the phone when a. motivated seller calls off your marketing that you spent thousands of dollars to make the phone ring , I think you're being foolish
Look into Patlive.com
They've been around the longest
Also I don't like the Philippines people talking to my motivated seller leads
Now tenant buyer prospects that are looking for my lease to own homes I'll use voicemail
The above three members have it working motivated seller leads for a lot of time now and they may want to chime in on the subjects live of calls

I love what I do, but honestly... while I know how to use all kinds of tools to do just about anything from Electrical to Plumbing to Metal Fabrication or whatever, I have obviously not learned to use some of the most impotant tools in how to make my money work best for me. That time is done
I'm a Veteran and failure has never been an option, so I have no desire to start now. I'm here to learn as much as possible about Flips, wholesaling and help others out of bad property situations with creative financing and lease to own options where Banks won't help.
Darrell,
You should pm me, as I am a USMC veteran, Marine Corps AIr Wing
I work in options leases, installment sales, private lending, joint venture partnering, slipping, subject to, wraparound mortgages land contracts
I focus on expired listings were sellers have hard time selling for some reason, either the house needs repair or behind on payments, or the sellers situation ie divorce, loss of job, probate, irs, etc

For 30 years educators in real estate I respect are:
David Tilney - Leases and Master Leases
Dyches Boddiford - Asset Protectionand Entities
John Schaub - Getting 500 houses
Peter Fortunato - Notes and Creative Financing and Exchanging - Trading
Jay DeCima - Rehabs with Hands On Examples
Jimmy Napier - Notes and Exchanging - Trading
Gary Johnston - Notes and Teaching the HP 12C Calculator
I have invested well over 2-3 K per year on seminars, so $2K x 30 = $60K...
So do realtors, loan originators, CPAs, financial planners, etc.
There is nuthin' for nuthin'

you can buy it on a wrap from the seller which is common in Texas and now you're on title
Then you can rented out as a landlord or sell it on a wrap
The subject to purchase from the seller is risky if the loan gets called
At least the wrap the seller knows that his long will stay in place
I would learn from @John Jackson
Texas about lease options before making an opinion whether they're good or not
