I am personally working with about 15.

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.

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

Personally I think both are important.

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

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

Just my personal experience.
