Then spend all your time perfecting your craft.

I have had multiple HOA violations (some as incredible as leaving my kid's soccer ball outside and grass meticulously measured) and I think I may have paid less than 5 in multiple locations.

I had a supervising Broker and a formal business setting to learn my craft.. . learned the laws instead of learning how to do this reading cereal box's.. and practicing on good innocent Sellers and innocent buyers who if they had proper representation would not get screwed over and waste time by wholesalers who are ignorant and just starting out and learning how to do an industry...

If you have SOME king of modest marketing budget to start with, a purchased list of known note holders can be a great start... ypu just craft the right message (again, trial end error will bearout which message(s) work best for you) and mail to your list.

%s are nice to scope out which projects to look into further but when you are crafting an offer, it should be based on actual performance.Regarding turns, they should be included in maintenance and repairs.  

Whatever you try, be meticulous about testing it and pivot based on your findings.

(They weren't interested, but I'll keep at it, and keep crafting my letter, and hopefully get a deal from it.)Their are some direct mail scripts, but from what I've heard on the BP podcast, it's best to keep it short, and to the point. 

If you're honing a craft, I'd personally like to focus on the one that is going to be relevant in all circumstances and economies. 

I've crafted 2 prospecting letters to apartment building owners.Im undecided as to which approach to use.

So dig in to the educational forms to master your craft.
