Oso Washington  49 peeps perished and 45 homes destroyed happened mid morning so probably a good amount of people at work that kept the fatalities down I happened to drive by there last year.

I just went thru this.

I’ve found a distressed property while driving & I want to contact the owner but they are not living in the property.

To afford pay-by-the-night rooms (room rates are up 37% since 2021), some evicted renters scrape together extra money, sometimes for only $2 an order, driving for apps like Grubhub or DoorDash—essential jobs in the eviction economy.

Dear BiggerPockets community,I have a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry/Quantum Dynamics... https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/article/142/24/244112/74387 ... and I literally designed and built my own house off of 30A in Florida ... https://www.scenicsir.com/homes/242-Blue-Gulf-Drive/Santa-Ro... ....

But the way I see it is that, in general, someone who is new to the business and is looking to break in and grow will have barriers that can likely drive them out of REI.If it were up to me, I would just let the market dictate the rents and it will find equilibrium on its own.

Alternately for the persistant ones I just keep the line open, meaning tie their people up by just putting the phone on the counter and let them talk.I am surprized they are not labeled as potential spam on your phone expecially with the sequential numbers. 

You should have someone local who can drive by to check on the property, respond to emergencies, conduct regular inspections, etc.

You have to just commit to doing the lead generation 5-6 days a week (social posts, door knocking, talk to people you know, talk to people you don't know, host open houses for agents in your office, drive for FSBO's, etc) until you have planted so many "seeds" that they result in business. 

Ive recently come into a large amount of $ due to an injury settlement and im looking to do all great things thru real estate with it.
