I am an engineer who works out of his basement everyday and rarely is on the phone.

I found the son on Facebook and sent a quick intro giving my condolences, expressed my interest in purchasing the property, and provided my phone # in case he decides to follow up.I'm in the process of preapproval with a couple lenders, and have reached out to a couple realtors in my area to see which may be a good fit.

The good subs in your area will likely have plenty of work already and may not even return phone calls.

.: I have similar result, only like 30 - 40% of data yield valid phone numbers.

However based on these experiences still seem too risky versus just going after some of the options with RealCrowd that seem attractive and proven. 

What I personally do is link the working entities with my holding which is also based in Spain.

.✅ Do your research to learn what is realistic.Spend time really considering what type of business is going to be the best fit for you based on your experience and how you want to spend your time once you are the owner.

Would be happy to connect via text, phone, or email to answer your questions.

I paid for the subscription for a few months and drew my own custom Google maps areas and color coded them red/yellow/green based on a "grade" I felt came from a few metrics like crime/average household income/etcI also really like realtors dot com new maps, if you search for an address and click on the map and then go to the top left and choose the Value slider it will give you a nice color coded map of which areas of a neighborhood are higher valued.
