Off market deals usually have nonrefundable deposits and a clunkier process that isn't as suited for out of state people until they have good contacts in the area to evaluate the property (mostly contractors that feel comfortable evaluating projects for you).

Start reaching out to landlords, you can get all their contact info using reonomy which only cost about $100 per month to get direct owner contact points.

I then ran a different ad and the cost was only 6 cents per contact. 3 cents higher than FB lowest estimate.

BP is great for finding good contacts!!! 

And if you have been keeping people's contact info, you could pass that on to him as well so he can send out a change of ownership letter.it's just going to depend on the specific property and the specific buyer that wanders along.

@Patrick Pan, if I was operating in a state where that was a concern I would just contact their current landlord for a reference.

I did try contacting the local  section 8 office but didnt connect to anyone yet who could help me.

If you know any qualified applicants you can have them contact me.

He tells you to contact brokers in the area of the property & try to get them to find you a tenant within 2 weeks while you have the property tied up.The problem with that is the brokers will tell you they can't help you if you don't actually own the property.

Have her call a few churches or similar organizations to get contact info for who to talk to.
