Sorry to miss this when it was first posted.This type of lease is, by far, my favorite.

The fact that this sponsor used investor money to gamble on high yield unsecured notes leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  

. #3, Old coach is my favorite! 

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

. :-)With that being said what you were doing is definitely a gamble.

Henry David Thoreau, one of my favorite authors, went to the woods to live, in his word, deliberately.

(yellow, blue, handwritten, scribbles).19.Slap a unique tracking phone number on each mailer design.20.Spend another fortune sending mailers, again.21.Get yelled at, again.22.Remove people from the list that demand it, again.23.Receive a bunch of returned mailers, again.24.Spend another fortune to skip trace and resend the new mailers… again.25.Subscribe to your favorite real estate investing forum and ask people what you are doing wrong.26.Try hard to make sense of their response: “If all this is not working for you, it means you didn’t do it enough, do more (of what obviously is not working), and stay consistent”.27.Get depressed.28.Get yourself together.29.Do it all over again.30.

Any list you can pull for a few bucks has already been hammered by hordes of investors before you.Not saying this way can't work, but I recommend a different path...I prefer to focus on sellers who have a reason to sell but who require some effort and skill to identify.My favorites are #TiredLandlords, namely owners who have filed an eviction lawsuit against their non-paying tenants.Many of these folks are through being in the rental business and are open to hearing about a way out.Even better, #TiredLandlords are ideal candidates for seller financing, since they don't need the sale proceeds to buy another house, PLUS they are already conditioned to receiving monthly payments over a period of time.

Unless you really know Baltimore I consider buying there gambling , not investing .

I wouldn't bet on either at this stage but if you like a gamble...
