Quote from @Ricardo Marquez: Hi @Jennifer Stammberger this is Ricardo from yourserviceva, we are a real estate agency with non accent cold callers ready to start whenever you want, I'll text you our info on private also-Ricardo Marquez Hi Recardo, I am looking for a good cold calling company as well, to help call and negotiate RE property prices with prospective sellers.Looking forward to your response. 

Nothing wrong with this approach but what you want is a measurable, predictable number of potential deals flowing your way so I wouldn't recommend relying solely on the passive deal search.You may have access to information to help you prospect for these deals on your own.

They have already called a real estate agent to list on the MLS and when the agent comes over to take the listing, they tell the prospective seller that the dog poop in the living room has got to go.The rot in the bathroom behind the toilet needs to be fixed.

The owner of the unit is getting more revenue and has less risk (less risk of eviction, damages, collections, etc). 

@Zeina Awad Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

In July of last year a roof leak developed and caused damage to the ceiling in my unit, to the point there was partial ceiling collapse.

It will give you an entirely different prospective on investing, time management, and economic outpatient care.
