But before calling someone make sure their number is not on do not call registry.After saying all of that, as an owner of multiple rental properties - I don't like to be called, received text from unknown persons if I didn't provide explicit permission to be contacted.

But 70% isn't working nearly at all. 

Take the initial investment out then keep the machine going.I know it seems like alot but it's really not that hard to accomplish.  

Sometimes the market is all about "off" market properties.

Debt is the worst in the world, except for all of the others. 

While the debt would whip out most of the profit for 'x' amt of time, it would seem to be logical to take on the risk at a net zero income for x amt of years if after that point, the cashflow is all positive.

It sounds like you could have a promising deal, so lean on your experienced agent for guidance and go take action!
