This monopoly or illuminati like emphasis on forcing people to be licensed is nonsense.If the Medical field held the same view on "Treatments", then treating your friends basic wounds after a friendly football game with alcohol and a wrap would be illegal in the medical field since you're not a licensed doctor.If the Law or FTC field held the same view on "Counseling", then simply adding the verbiage "I'am not a legal attorney, please consult one" or "Profit is not guaranteed" should not excuse many of us of writing guides, tips, or any informational material without their specific license to ensure our expertise.I mean, 7 outta 10 Realtors can't even tell you the difference between 1978 Lead Paint Disclosures and Lead Paint Free Certificates (LOL), but as big Lead Paint risks are, barely anyone no one knows about this.

Agree with Arktavious Sally that marketing is the life blood of this.

Here are the big six (6) reasons people leave behind a vacant property: 1) "Skipped" on bills or other people 2) Drugs and alcohol 3) Incarceration 4) Severe mental & emotional problems 5) Senility 6) Death By reverse engineering each vacant property opportunity, talking to neighbors and others in the immediate community, you ought to be able to get a lead on which of the above scenario is most likely.

I just don't have the time or blood pressure to support dealing with all those initial calls. 

We bring in speakers, ask and answer questions, socialize, utilize alcohol, you get the jist.
