I want to hire a virtual assistant to cold call a list of cash buyers I have to sign them up and to weed out the "dud" phone numbers so I can use another freelancer to track down the good phone number and then repeat until I get through the entire list.

Attend those virtual meetups that are available (DM me for more details on this).3.   

If you are focusing on cash flow and only looking at deals virtually, you are likely going to get a dawg that looks like a poodle and turns out to be a yappy pomeranian who needs a lot of trips to the groomer.Have you managed apartments before?

I'm invested in the University Heights area, and from looking at the market, I don't see a whole lot of activity happening in the area in 2024.

the best of the best would not be where anyone should start (and virtually no one going into their first accountability group could afford or meet the conditions required for the best of the best). 

You are making an arbitrage already by 1 to 2%.But then, if you are using a bank to get that line of credit, and use the loan to invest, your interests are deductible.You then reinvest that money that will provide enough cash flow to pay the interest and continues to grow also.I would suggest that you check @Thomas Rutkowski website and Youtube channel You can use a Whole Life or an Index Universal Life Insurance for this strategy.

You can maybe save some cash and just get a single line virtual dialer like Vonage Business or Ring Central (look for month to month only), you don't need a massive power dialer right off the bat (another $150-$250 per month). 

A lot of our guests are coming to visit friends or family at the university, or they are visiting professors, etc. 

I own a house near a university where I rent by the room.

.- Set up systems to regularly keep in touch with (and add value to) the folks you connect with whether they're local contacts or virtual contacts from BP.Happy to see you here... looking fwd to seeing how the BiggerPockets platform contributes to your journey.All the best,Abel
