Then repaint the outside with Sherman Williams Duration paint as it has hit 20 yrs since the previous owner painted it the paint is starting to bleach out due to the sun.  

@Gary M caceres  Yes, I have a "business owners policy" for that, and it is higher than a personal policy. 

Owners hate that PMCs charge them - for anything!

Many private lenders are right in your network: friends, family, business owners, and other real estate investors.

I know a few people that are purchasing sub 100K properties, then selling the  property with owner financing.

., many property owners will be willing to share information after a serious offer has been presented. 

Before I found this out, I wrote many letters and cold called until I could speak to the different land owners in my identified zone, and after speaking to nearly all of them, non were interested in hearing what I thought was na attractive offer.

Breaking out into silos where the owner deals with multiple SMEs vs a single point of contact. 

You might want to consider learning how to do creative financing like owner financing, to help you fill the gap of not having a wholesaling connection. 

The biggest challenge is getting owners to understand this as few actually follow any industry data.One of the risks this will cause is lowering of screening thresholds to fill vacancies.
