I am personally working with about 15.

Quote from @James Wise:I need to dig up a podcast that I listened to about 2 months ago with Tom Ferry, and the person was giving all the states, You are pretty close to that number on 5 days or more.. 95% range, the industry is very off kilter these days with the low activity of 2023 and 2024 that most people licensed just retired, gave up, or thought they were going to do something and never could get a sale due to bad leadership.

Quote from @Peter Tverdov: Think at least for the text standpoint it is challenging in this market now where I know personally 3 people that have been in lawsuits with one ringing in at $500,000 for cold text messages to people that did not want to be marketed to, so to @Jonathan Greene point on that for sure.I think that cold calling is a true skill that really no one (or 1%) will end up doing, and I 100% agree that VAs do not do it right..

I personally like the BRRRR strategy - it's not easy to pull off but it's simple and it works in theory. 

All 17 or however many sellers want to sell, and we've agreed on terms for seller financing, but the problem is no one cannot get in touch with the last reminding person.

@Robert B Azimi If I'm in your shoes I'm meeting with the tenant in person to figure out what's going on.

@Denis Orlov I don't do STR, but I've rented one of my personal properties for arbitrage before. 

Just my personal experience.

I would have hired a junk haul person to do the clean out instead of my contractor.

It is the one that gets in contact with the person/owner and connects.
