I am developing a better marketing strategy to get this in front of agents more often, hopefully encouraging them to find me more owners.

for me personally I have a credentials package that is available to anyone who wants to work with us.. and I encourage them to run a background check..I mean look at what landlords put poor tenants through who are looking to make 700 dollar rents.. and yet they will fork over 100's of thousands and never do any deeper check other than what the guys are promoting..  

We DO plan to offer these marketplaces in future years, and hope to meaningfully cut down on situations like this (although you can never fully avoid them). 

I highly encourage you to attend the next REI Central meeting on August 1st 6-8 pm at Palmetto Brewing Co 289 Huger St Charleston, SC 29403.
