Since I have a fixed-rate mortgage, I understand this wouldn’t lower my monthly payment but would shorten the loan term by reducing the principal faster.

I used to cold call, skip trace, send mailers, and don't get me wrong you will get success from it like James above, however as you gain experience you will realize you need deals faster, easier, cheaper, and with more "meat on the bones" and in order to have that you need constant deals flowing through your eco system and that's hard to do with mailers, cold calls, VA's and skip tracing etc.

Lee County for both but I’d imagine it’s gotta move faster.

And after a couple of years if you are enjoying it start to scale bigger or faster or both.  

Even if PS had 100% accuracy, it wouldn't matter.It is about whether or not these people are motivated and I promise you 99.9% of these people PS will feed you are NOT motivated.So you should be thankful you only have a 20% success rate getting contact info, because if they gave you 100% contact info you would go bankrupt MUCH faster sending all these people mailers.Nothing can target motivated sellers, NOTHING can.

Financial independence requires an income that:Increases faster than inflation.

I would reinvest future cash flow from increasing rents to the principal to pay it down faster.
