It doesn't do the phone or door knocking prospecting for you, but is a one stop shop for managing and marketing all leads in one place and knowing that when you pick up the phone, you know what step you should be at.

I'm thinking of  knocking on any door where the house was built in the 70's or 80's and asking if the owner has any interest in selling their home. 

There's a .01% chance they come knocking on your door to check if you live there, so take that as you may.As far as the property management goes, make sure your numbers still work with the prop management fee (typically 5% - 10% of gross income, call around and see what companies will charge).Good luck!

Regarding your not going inside question, why don't you just knock on the door and talk to the guy if you see him?

If you don't have any money the only thing you can do is hit the streets and door knock, drive for dollars and network. 

put the property into contract your not out anything.. but then no one else snags it why you negotiate.I just had one like this were 5 feet of the house were actually over the line..Buyer is just knocking 5 feet off the house and doing a full remodel.. the neighbor thought he had us over the barrel.. but I did not to discount for this.. so maybe with that one.. not knowing the topo.. just build a new driveway if its a rental your tenants don't care.. low ball the bank and you got a good cash flower.

I guess it only takes one bad apple to cause a problem, but I have not had an issue yet (knock on wood).I’d leave it alone and reconsider later if it does become a problem.

I'm trying to find some creative ways to get a deal knocked out because I will be ending my time in service relatively soon and I am looking for ways to generate income for my family going forward.

Dam@Damien Dupee when you say "cold call" do you mean door knocking?

They don't disturb me, they don't knock on my door or ring my bell.
