I've been using White Pages Premium for a bit to contact owners of homes but lately it seems like all the cell #'s are bad.

Ironically, this town removed their last remaining pay phone a decade ago...The landline must be provided for 911, especially for guests that stay out of the country as their cell phones may not work on our networks.  

And while I recognize taking a cash flow hit right out of the gate is not a fun thought, a vacation rental should cash flow well enough that you're at least breaking even in a downturn, and have enough margin that the fat times get you through the slim times with no problem.  

I currently own 28 properties for a total of 50 units and continuing to buy more.Send me a message or shoot me a text at my cell below and I can answer any questions about investing here 🤙🏻Cheers to our success!

Stay healthy, stay away from bad people.Some ideas to find the deals:walk/drive neighborhoods, look for neglected propertiesadvertise, newspapers, radio, pass out flyersWrite a nice letter to landlordsWhen housing court starts up again, meet landlords there - chatCall and visit owners of Expired Listings - make offersBuild a relationship with a few Realtors, offer to pay them a fee (3-5% of purchase price for unlisted buildings) for presenting your offers to FSBO's and expired listings (auto pilot investing) The purpose behind this is to open negotiations with sellers, I always offer well below their asking price BUT IN WRITING hand delivered by an agent (you save time, cost of gas and you increase the odds of finding a fat equity deal)Study Real Estate Control techniques; delayed settlement, assignment clauses, all types of options, hybrid or JV with sellers, repair consideration with possession (known as front porch offers) use one of the 21 proposals for seller financing (the best highest leverage financing you can get)My LOCK-DOWN has proven to be profitable, I have time to network and develop clients nationwide to mentor/partner transactions.

A unit without cell service, or poor cell service is not a desirable unit for me. 

@Elizabeth GomezHaving an LLC without a business leaves no benefit.Having an LLC doesn't necessarily just make things like cell phone bill, gas deductible.Once you have a rental that is placed in service - you can benefit from being able to deduct items that relate to that business.

I have email addresses and cell numbers for property owners and want to develop a system with the help of a quality real estate focused CRM to manage my information.

That can be key for those borrowers who are tied up with their 9-5 (especially if you can't have your cell phone at your desk, if you know what I mean...). 

My cell phone is important because they will shut me off if I stiff them months of service charges.
