I am compiling a call list

I have been compiling a list of properties as I drive around my neighborhood to present to people.

There is a reason we have credit scores and they are compiled from data points just like anything else.

To be really honest, if I had done more homework on the subject I could have easily saved the $200 and compiled a how-to on virtual wholesaling myself. 

Many do audits, compliance, compilations, controllers, are CFO's, are CEO's, or do all other aspects of business.

Your local real estate association probably compiles a lot of this data on at least a monthly basis.

I'd like this thread to be a place where we compile a list of the major tax deductions available to a real estate investor.

In terms of audit, I'm sure there are small CPA firms that would jump to do a compilation audit for a decent price.

You've gotta be hitting absentee owners in foreclosure or in some other distress situation.In any major metro, you should be able to get NOTS lists off your MLS, or from 3rd parties who compile them immediately as they are filed at the County.And some County Assessor offices will run just about any search you want for $100-200-ish.

I've been sold on the dream of financial freedom and living your own lifestyle by means of passive income through investment.So basically I'm looking at a job with a secure salary and great benefits, compared to an opportunity with a RE wholesaling company which is 100% commission-based, essentially starting out on my own compiling a buyers and sellers list with no benefits and really, no guarantee of success.
