Should I just pound down these notes $10,000 per month?

I won't be able to do a lot of footwork in the beginning so what are the best ways to get started without having to "pound the pavement?

I could probably pound the note down below $429,000 pretty quickly, but don't want to be saddled with a higher rate for 30 years and would also like to avoid paying an additional $3,000 or whatever it is to refinance again later.

Just do your research and keep pounding the mouse and pavement for deals.

@Jerel Ehlert  Looks like after all that chest pounding the answer to the question of whether or not you own actually own residential rental properties, which is all I asked, is in fact, "no".

If you have a difficult tenant that is not happy you can either tell them you will let them out of their lease after the work is completed or simply tell them to pound salt.

I decided that I want to use this method as it doesn't take me away from my family to "pound pavement" (which in my neck of the woods could get you shot) and is not going to cost me money like direct mail marketing does.

Either you aren't doing many deals or you are acquiring property in a very undesirable area (country, desert, swamp land). 

"Dude it's like a pound man"  Well a couple of years later I had some plumbing repairs on the bath tub.

Not that I agree with such laws, they're often meant to keep out "undesirables" who are unable to rent a whole house, like minorities and young people.
