The method I mentioned above of refinancing notes, try to calculate a yield on buying a discounted note and 30 minutes later refinancing it at the UBP!

Go to the local online property tax records. there you can get owner name and mailing address. that would be the simplest method.

This has worked for me numerous times over the years.  

This is particularly effective when paired with bonus depreciation provisions.This method not only helps reduce your tax liability but also enhances cash flow, making it a powerful tool for real estate investors looking to grow their portfolios.3.

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

There have been complaints filed by multiple parties. having been a broker for many decades and owning 3 brokerages over the years.. at least out this way when complaints come into the DRE and they are numerous they will most certainly send an investigator to this companies office and request the books.

There is no hard and fast method , besides experience . 

A scope is especially important on properties where the sewer line would be particularly expensive to replace (for instance, if the sewer line replacement would require breaking up and re-pouring a driveway, or removing numerous mature trees--these things can cost significantly more money above and beyond the cost of replacing the sewer line). 

I really like how you worded all this Tyler; it's very intentional, methodical, no ego and all learning.
