For months, this was what we were following but of course when dealing with me I never make people wait so long and I pay as soon as I am able, as soon as the line item funds drop I usually send a wire or zell payment.

@Paola Astrid Find the local NARPM (national association of residential property managers) chapter's website and you'll find a list of each professional PM. 

I would add that you should definitely checkout some local real estate meetups as that's the best way to quickly build a buyer's list. 

It does seem odd they would list a reference that they didn't speak to previously. 

Also, check out LoopNet or Crexi for listings, though keep in mind that the best opportunities might not be listed publicly.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Maybe the VRBO or AirBNB listing so we can get a good idea of what we are talking about.

Heir, preforeclosure, foreclosure, divorce, absentee, rundown, can't keep up with maintenance, overdue taxes and liens, the list is endless.Don't try to force an offer on them, get to know them and keep following up.

I got an unsual response to a listing of mine today:Good morning, We are home health care agency, and we want to rent the house to care for disabled or elderly clients that are unable to care for themselves 4 -6 unrelated people.

Cheap properties in Milwaukee are fools gold (especially for OOS investors, people literally will scoff at a rough listing and then someone will say: eh, someone from CA will buy it..)
