It is great to hear other people's perspectives and once you sift through them all, the final decision on what will be best for you is left up to YOU, not us.

All you need to know is here at BP for free (by asking the right questions, and sifting through the answers carefully, and posting for clarification when still uncertain), and at local Real Estate Investors meetings, which also help with networking and team building and so on.

In the meantime, I want to sift through the PA Sales Agreement to see if any of that language is built in as Stephanie Irto mentioned earlier, unless someone else already knows the answer.

That being said, it's like any city where you can find the gems if you sift through. 

I sift through a lot of mediocre crap for my clients to find THE ONE.  

I have been going through the documents, reading wills, sifting through probate notes and orders, filtering out cases where they have real property, that might be a good lead.

And yes there are PLENTY of Section8 tenants that meet all of this criteria, it's literally a matter of sifting through the BSers,...which leads to the background check.I also place in the ad that there is a $35.00 nonrefundable background check that they will pay that will need to be done on everyone that is over 18 years old that would potentially be living at the property and I make sure they are OK with that in the text message also.

So, yeah, I sift through a lot of garbage, have a lot of emails go unreturned, and find enough meaningful substance for my little niche of the real estate world.  

Should I be...Focusing on SEO (writing articles, keyword research, etc.)Split testing ads, copy and landing pagesFiguring out Google AdwordsTrolling different listing sites for dealsCrafting Facebook adsEducating myselfToday I found myself spending my allocated time somewhat randomly sifting through blog posts, forum posts, etc.I know no one can give me THEE answer. :) Something that came to mind while writing all of this is giving myself a concrete work schedule again!

It’s true that they could lie on their profiles but it’s probably a good first step to sift through the comments and put the comments of those who are really opinionated, yet have not had much personal success with real estate, aside and give more weight to the comments of those who really know what they are talking about.Here is a list of some people on BiggerPockets whose opinions I listen to closely and value because they have fruit on the tree.
