For example, someone calls in and you chat with them to find that they may not be interested in selling right then at your price for whatever reason, however over the next several months their motivation may change so a follow-up system should most certainly be in place to touch base with them again and again.On top of that, be sure you are finding 'why' they called in the first place because your main goal should be to solve their problem before all else as this will inevitably lead to closing deals.

Most banks won't touch anything under $50,000.  

I will be in touch for sure.

If you stay consistent - followup with everyone who contacts you and stay in touch with your base - you will find that you have suddenly got a buyers list. 

How do we get in touch?

Sometimes we have to pay to make sure it's right all the way around and have an insured contractor to fall back on if anything is not right... if you touch it the first thing anyone on the job will do is point the finger at you and attack your competence to do whatever you do....  

My property values are low, in the 40s, so no one wants to touch them for a typical refi. 

As we get close to completion we'll definitely be in touch. 

Id suggest touching base with @Upen Patel.

Both the mechanical and plumbing seem to have less left on the contract than what would be required to finish the work (for instance the HVAC guy has done everything but put in the new package unit outside which is about a 5k job, but only 3.5k is left on the contract) but I, nor the owner who has been very cooperative, have been able to get in touch with the electrician, and there is a good bit of work yet to do.When you say $ held in escrow post closing to cover leins, do you mean $ out of the seller's pocket/sales proceeds, or out of my pocket?
