@Josh Cordle, taking a page from what Jerry W. said, google the prospective tenant, their phone number and email address.

Since my prospective buyers are going to be rehabbers and landlords, the MLS won't be of too much use.

You can often find all of these specialists in larger firms.

It's not that my target market is big; it's just that I'm running out of prospects, thus I must expand into other locations.Good luck to you April in getting some deals!

In terms of investing far away, you need two very good property management firms that you can rely on and a local realtor who can pay to be an asset manager on a quarterly basis.

Are you still seeing success using gosection8.com for prospective tenants?

Response rates vary depending upon the piece I send and how many times I have hit the prospect.

With Rently prospects can set their own appointments and show the property themselves.

It's possible that firm will handle the title work and closing for the REOs but they have nothing to do with offers.

Prospective applicants that 'dictate' to me what I have to take pet-wise never seem to get their applications turned in completed correctly or in time before someone else submits theirs.
