I'm looking to buy houses off market for personal investments.

It can only be addressed in a one-on-one manner, because if you ask another CPA for a second opinion, it very well can be the opposite from the one you asked first.Here're a few of my personal pointers.1.

Personally, I love working with distressed properties, especially foreclosures.

Does that fit your personal criteria for a return you'd like to get on your investment? 

They both had good intentions and I have personally seen the inner workings of the business in attempting the "Done for you" model.

Personally, I would start simple with a single family. 

It's led to incredibly high occupancy rate in the off-season, but I'd rather have a slightly lower occupancy rate in order to reduce wear and tear and leave some weekends open for personal use.I'm at a loss on what to do about this.

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..

You could also sell the lead to another company/person.

They might be willing to give different terms especially to a high net worth person that they can likely make money on cross selling.
