Yeah, Zillow = No Go for motivated seller leads. You'd be better off driving for dollars. In this market, anything that can be put on the mls will and will likely sell for a premium. The goal is to find properties that for whatever reason can't be put on the mls and connect those homeowners with investors looking to buy houses at a discount. 

I agree with what @Will Barnard said above.  The only way to scale is to find people you trust and delegate responsibility to them. (Much easier said than done, I know).  

interesting. thank you for sharing

Call em!!! What could it hurt? Worst case they say "not interested." Click. So what!?! You know how many people hang up the phone on me on a daily basis? Me neither, but its quite a few. That's part of any contact sport.  I'd also recommend when trying to contact the owner you do so after gaining a pretty solid feel for what the home is worth or what an investor in your area would pay for it.  This way if they are interested in selling, you're actually able to have an intelligent conversation about what that would look like for them.

I'd probably speak to an attorney, personally.  Also, regardless of which one you use, make sure you understand the contract that you are entering into very, very, very well or things can go south fast.

I like pipedrive. Really easy to visualize deals through the system and you can automate everything you don't want to do yourself

Not sure people are against it as an investing method. There certainly is the potential to get caught if you don't fully understand all the costs associated with the process

What "nets" are you currently using? Hard to give advice on expanding your game plan without knowing anything about what you're doing currently. 

It's like any other relationship in your network.  Connect with a great one and it will have a positive impact on your business.  It sounds like you might want to network a little more with other realtors, though.  An investor focused realtor should be able to dial in very specifically what you are looking for and be prepared to help you acquire those properties quickly.  A great realtor will even help manage a reno project if they know there is a sale on the back end too.

Other comps will hopefully show that you underpaid on the purchase and the true market value is higher.  I'd be prepared to explain that thoroughly though
