I targeted renters who pay on time, stay long-term, and care for the property.

Doing these make their job easier which will benefit you. 

Would that make life easier?

I think it partially depends on your target audience. 

Depending on your portfolio, a few approaches are easier to get up and running quickly!

They focus here because the price points are much easier, laws are landlord friendly, and more importantly they have a company they're partnering with that's vertically integrated that they like and can trust with over 20 years of doing business.

You can access detailed property information like ownership history and contact details, which can help you create a targeted mailing list.- ProspectNow: Similar to Reonomy, ProspectNow provides a database of multifamily property owners along with their contact information.

You can't data-analyze who or who isn't motivated.If you think that you get a higher chance of finding motivation targeting people in some sort of distress, then again, answer me thisWhy does it take you 3000-5000 mailers calls or texts to RANDOM people to get 1 deal and it takes the exact same numbers to people on some targeted list or people propstream gets you to get a deal?
