You really have to devote yourself to making it work, and it helps if you have a genuine interest in this business aside from money.

Finding an agent who is knowledgeable about investment properties and willing to dive into research, even beyond their local market, is rare—but it’s definitely possible.I’m genuinely happy that you found a property that works for you.

Pull off the thin veil you discover they’re a disguised insurance salesman.  

Quote from @Taylor Kendrick: Am I alone in feeling like I'm being sold this idea rather than OP being genuinely curious about the community's thoughts?  

The "online leads" trend becomes a vast pool of scams, each one discovering a new and "better" way to find motivated sellers via SEO/Paid adds/Social Media etc, and automatically aims to make a profit from selling those so-called leads.

@Timothy Franklinso i'm genuinely curious - it seems like you're acting more like an agent in this scenario. 

They sound like regular conversations where the RE professional/investor is genuinely interested in discovering the seller's pain points to help find a solution.All the best!

This is what I am encountering, in the current Mortgage Industry.If you think you will go FHA, Conventional, FHA 203k, etc. and then Quit Claim the property, to a Corporate Entity, or a Land Trust you run the risk of the lender discovering a Title Transfer occurred and activating the "Acceleration Clause" or "Due on Sale Clause" that requires the loan to be paid in full, within 'x' number of days.

If I gave oil rights to one entity and mineral rights to another, what would happen if both entities discovered their rightful resource in the same place?  

This would help everyone feel confident that your reviews come from genuine firsthand experience rather than potentially biased marketing.
