Do you desire to support an RE until it can provide cash flow in the unknown future? 

Otherwise you aren’t going to make any offers because this factor is unknown to you.

I've factored for repairs though I had hard time because I could have purchased property cheaper but wanted the seller to pay all closing costs just so I could have a chunk of money so I can absorb the unknown.

Inheriting tenants provides a huge unknown.

but again untested, no historic performance data, the low hanging fruit is being picked off by syndicators then combining assets into opportunity funds so what kind of performance will come from that is unknown. 

Plus when they did receive your letters you are an unknown in the marketplace, so motivated sellers are unlikely to deal with you when they can deal with a more familiar presence in the market.What I would do if I were you is keep looking at the MLS and comparing prices.
