@Carl Richardson The only work around I see is hiring the "bird dog" as a personal assistant.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Quote from @V.G Jason: Your advice in this post is sound.But you're also the guy that hired and fired 50 agents.

Hire the very best people you can to advise you based on your exact situation and circumstances and then let them help you implement a solid tax strategy that makes sense for you.Regardless of your position and role, this is without a doubt one of the highest leverage activities that you can do.Remember, it's not just about what you make, it's about what you keep in the end that matters most.

Also, you can find out what work needs to be done by hiring a reputable inspector.  

Recently, we hired a new rep in the Port St.

A plan is to work with a real estate agent, use FHA or conventional loans, and hire a property manager for residency.Good luck!

Did you hire a public insurance adjuster?

Currently we are working on 3 properties that we have hired an attorney with a title company to navigate through the taxes and who all may have claims to the property. 

A single person can reach out to 100-200 owners a day with a single line dialer, many more with a multiline like Mojo Dialer.3) Once you have a system in place, you can hire a VA to help you cold call and just hand off the responsive leads to you (they won't really hand off appointments).
