I'd stay away from asking people if you can shadow them for a day which benefits absolutely nobody because a lot of it would be responding to emails, making phone calls, pouring over spreadsheets and figuring the margin on a deal which to someone else who is new would not be the most exciting thing of all time.

No cell phones, no texts, no online portals and rent payments, no electronic signatures, some email, newspaper ads and a lot of door knocking (I can almost feel some of you more seasoned PM vets nodding out there). 

Send them emails and letters. 

You could try sending follow up emails for people that never showed.

If I were to use 1031 exchange funds obviously the timeline is tight, so I may have to use temporary financing to close the deal and then refinance.

I follow you  and your team on you tube and get email updates from you. keep up the good work!!

@Patrick Britton can you shoot me your email?

For example, we only have 15 confirmed email cash buyers.

This is part of what he/she (no name on emails) stated on the reply to my offer “ Also we can't give title insurance for 2 years because the tax foreclosure just passed when it was bought.

The advertising copy you attached to your email came out perfectly and will be very helpful.
