There will also be many homeowners who have had the properties in the family through generations and own free and clear but now still need to obtain a construction loan to rebuild.

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.  

And, if you were able to generate $500/mo cash flow as Scott suggests, his method would not replace your income: if you could do only 3 properties a year that would net $1500/mo cash flow and it would take you 10 years to scale it to $15000/mo.

I'm looking into various cold calling companies to help generate leads.

In making this post here on BP, I wanted to humbly come to the forum however and start from scratch in terms of idea generation as to any and all avenues to pursue in getting the word out there so as to not miss any options.

House Hacking a primary residence is the best way to generate wealth so I always recommend that as the next move. 

My current brokerage does not help generate any leads or anything like that.
