If I had to choose, I would always prefer cold calling over texting for this approach.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

The best advice ever given to me was to invest in mortgage notes and not the actual real estate...... unless you have the time for value added projects.Know what your end game isKeep an eye on your equity. 

I personally blame the alarmist asset protection firms, some of which are big on ad spending on social media to get in front of new investors who don't know any better (no fault of their own). 

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Then eliminate areas you cannot or do not want to invest in and develop your strategy.

Probably just see a combination of solutions as we add more and more people....Dallas/DFW we're adding about 50,000 people a month last I heard.

I am assuming that you could not.At the great recession there was years of significantly adding to the housing supply.  

I can't talk price, I don';t even know I just signed up, added a VA account, a 2nd zip and am working leads.   

New signage, added gravel to the park, updated some of the homes, fixed electrical breakers for RV hook up sites, created a website and advertise online.

@Jeremy Altdorfer  Just adding to the above, the rent should be on Sch E of their tax return.
