We bought some properties a few years ago and it seemed like 1%'ers were like shooting fish in a barrel.

Poconos, PA on the East Coast may be worth doing your own due-diligence on - 1 - Historically proven vacation market - 2 - Year-round attractions such as lakes/ski resorts/fishing/hunting/hiking/camping - 3 - Close proximity to NYC and PHL - 4 - local municipalities are dependent on tax & visitor revenue generated from the industry, so albeit regulations are due to come, vacation rentals are not going away.

A great mountain view, a location within walking distance to attractions, or perhaps a trout stream running next to the property where the kids can tube and fish. 

I have tried to get as much information as I can.Looking at a roadside motel on a major road in a rural area.   15 miles away is a medium-sized college campus, and it's within 45 minutes of a big NASCAR venue, but other than that it is NOT a tourist destination - just rural area known for hunting, fishing, hiking, etc.   

I only stop texting leads when they tell me to stop texting them.We have to keep fishing till we get something and bring a fish on the table at the end of the day ..

Knowing what species of fish is important.

I always say to my clients the agents that bad mouth my low ball offers there is plenty fish in the sea!

But like to hit the ground for the wholesaling business and have the process but need the nuts n bolts for driving the leads to the pipeline and then do marketing campaign to fish prospective motivated sellers.

Also fishing to see if anyone has some off market deals that could be owner financed.

If you use an Ozone machine, it's best to evacuate the house of all living things, human and animal, fish, birds, lizards, etc...
