I'm from Florida, but have been doing the digital nomad thing for four years and now looking to move back to the States and get into RE.

Heck I've helped my family and friends originate loans as little as $10 to $15k with easy double digit returns!

In your case, since your two properties blow the 1% measurement out of the water, your COC would be well into double-digits if you implemented some well-executed delayed financing and find additional deals with those return parameters....especially when you consider how low mortgage rates are right now.Heck, even here in a city that's not known for its cash flow (Los Angeles) I am able to get well over 9% COC by financing my purchases. 

I know I have and there is nothing worse than having an awesome deal get shut down because of a 5 digit POS violation escrow amount!

The very good ones will get to 6 digits, and very very few will get to 7 digits per year.  

If I can do that digitally (like get leads from my website) I can contact people in distressed situations immediately.

Hi guys / all great tactics except in the day and age of digital marketing and technology I have built a massive lead generation system.

Digital lead generation - hands down.

Yes those are good follow up plans however to get an initial lead - I use my website and promote that and do digital ads abs much much cheaper than the old school ways.

Do you drive traffic to your site through digital ads, SEO or a combination of the two?
