In 9 out of 10 cases the clients go for free cheese from the mouse trap. 

I have a friend in the area that has Mickey Mouse everything in his STR, but wondering which direction you will be going. 

Put mouse bait in corners. 

We live in the information age; with some know how and mouse clicks you can determine ownership, property values, liens, etc.

The initial conversations go great, I provide my buy-hold criteria to the agents, I let them know I have $200K in capital to invest with and then NOTHING happens.Two real estate brokers/agents talking about investing sounds about like to engineers discussing how to build a better mouse trap.

Knowing just where to find real estate investor leads can be a frustrating challenge in itself, but luckily, there are several websites that provide an immense amount of data with just a few mouse clicks.

@mat Cool man!

Definitely take care of the mouse, because they seldom stay single ;-)

@Ken T.I know of many Canadians are taking advantage of the combination of low interest rate & double digit return cash on cash; has bought into US market.2% is not easy to get in most areas of US market(depending on market & area). 1% is not even easy in war zone area in Canada( although war zone area in Canada is mickey mouse to US).
