Kick the tires of a couple of homes.

And virtually all of them had owned rentals and maybe kept a few but were just tired on the TTT but wanted monthly cash flow . so there probably is some of that at play as well Investors that dont want to deal with the PM aspect of owning RE..

They all came with tenants and from tired landlords.

That's not a profit producing activity for a Broker / Property Manager as 99% are tire kickers and the ones who will buy will buy without going on a date with you. 

My wife was tired of us working to fix up our properties and not our house. 

I've done a lot of DTS marketing and found that almost all my leads were either tire kickers or if they actually wanted to sell, the property had so many entanglements (multiple family members involved, tons of debt on it, municipal liens, etc.) it wouldn't even be worth it.

I was tired and my patience was wearing thin.

They fly you to Idaho and give you a check.

Of you’re tired of endless negotiations, shotgunning offers to sellers who have no intention of selling, or chasing every “deal” that’s never going to be sold at a price an investor can profit, give this method a shot.
