So to get the ball rolling and gain momentum to reach your goal of two or more deals, I’d choose a marketing strategy (mail, d4d, bandit signs, etc) , decide what group you want to target (tax delinquent, high equity, absentees, etc), and be consistent in the marketing your doing.

Looks like you have solid momentum going into the New Year and best of luck as you expand out to the next phase. 

They know it and they are using their momentum to build houses and even compete with us homeowners.

Currently the concept of opportunity zones is gaining momentum so also curious about how that plays into the general strategy of avoiding "war zones".  

My take is to pick 2-3 markets and stick with those and get some momentum. 

I wish I would have kept the momentum but I’ve learned my lesson.

We just went home (we still call it home) to my folks place and spent the evening NYE and New Years day with my folks and saw a childhood friend that was back in town and haven't seen in years - the momentum there is far superior to anything Topeka has going - though I do like some things Topeka is doing to downtown but there's just not many businesses down there to draw anyone after business hours. 

That was plenty to build momentum!

They say the first one is the hardest but I got to get some momentum and get this train movin

The energy market is recovering and is gaining momentum, allowing us to get some traction and momentum as well.
