The next night, while at the property to let the tenants know I was the new owner, I noticed he was in the community laundry and with his phone plugged, a bottle of piss on the floor, and looked like he was going to sleep in there.

This is a high volume strategy as agents often don't pick up the phone, don't get back to you or say they will pitch the deal but don't.

It seemed like mostly phone calls and emails.

I now had a phone number to chase but the police said that unless they confessed (how likely is that) the court wouldn't call it enough evidence to just have a phone number. 

I made some phone calls and realize that Wyoming is a better fit for my LLC formation.

I'll add some data:1) If you were calling the phone book (lowest converting list imaginable), you will find a potential homeseller by talking to 20-30 people.

. - Call every 2-3 days to get project updates - Pay for materials with your lowes pro business credit card over the phone - Ask contractor for itemized list of things that needed to be doneThe above will ensure your sucess.

It's going to take time and LOTS of phone calls but keep at it, your consistency will make the ball start rolling.

Pace Morby is the guy i look up to the most when it comes to creative financing, and i was wondering if i could meet up, or hop on the phone with somebody who knows the game pretty well to grab some advice. 

In the meantime the neighbor got my phone number from his landlord and texted me about the spray paint on his car to which I responded that my contractor is responsible and will remedy the situation.
