@Lorenzo LopezPretend a map of Boston is a pool of water.

I've begun cold calling and looking to alternate methods of finding deals, but if anyone has any advice for overcoming this I'd love to connect.

Since July Ive made nearly 13000, cold calls.

Hi Jessica, I would suggest getting a propstream or any other lead generation account, finding cash buyers who bought similiar properties to yours in the last 3-6 months in the area of the properties you are looking to sell, skip trace then cold call or cold texting the list. 

The best defense against rats entering your property is to seal off all entry points (holes, cracks in walls), remove food sources (dirty dishes, food left in trash cans), and water sources (like leaks). 

This is completely understandable that folks don't want to move around in the cold/ winter.

I realize people are trying to make a living, but anyone who cold calls me is the last person I'd use for any transaction (plus I have people for that!).  

Cold calling IMO is the easiest way to get into the space.

I have a team of two who do texting campaigns and one who does cold calls.

We only look for tenants that possess a housing voucher, but sometimes in the winter months leads go cold.
