Michael,I understand your dillemma and wanted to share with you what we do, with the hopes that it's helpful food for thought.We take our overall list and segment it into two main categories: 1) The properties we are most excited about (usually defined by neighborhood) and 2) The properties we are excited about, but less so.

Each segment, whether it's absentees or whatever will produce results..eventually.
