I am aware of Crexi, Bizbuysell, and Loopnet and reach out when I see something for sale on those sites.

This is a real estate investment forum, so you won’t find many/any people on this site who deploy that strategy.

I browsed sites today for an upcoming trip and their inventory is expanding.

You could supliment this by creating a simple spreadsheet to track your total cash flow, including your mortgage and 401k loan payments.

@Jeff Goedeker A rental P&L statement would be pretty simple to create.  

Forget trying to walk them through a simple repair over the phone, to avoid sending a ServiceTech and saving an owner money.

  :) I think the simple answer is to just reach out to people.   81% of people only reach out to one Realtor.

From what I see all the people answering to me here (and there are so many) are just coming against and refusing to agree with my simple statement: "a landlord is not above the law or norms by its personal choice or presumed capability to judge what he don't know" or as well "a landlord cannot deny or miscarriage a service to a stranger without a known valid reason and at the same time pretend to be operating professionally or loyally to the moral"Basically I'm telling if you are not able to do your business correctly it would be better to find someone else than you, mainly when your ideas about "squatter" or fair treatment are coming from ignorance or completely invented. 

Simple.
