As you build your brand, consider offering workshops or online content that also touches on the financial aspects of real estate, like credit building, tax planning, and investment strategies.

There's no need in rehab just paint and touch ups, The added value is because I was able to get it in a great price

Although I am relatively new to REI myself (looking for my third deal now) I am more than happy to try to answer any questions you may have and get you in touch with some of the people (realtors, lawyers, flooring guys, etc.) that I have met along the way.  

Instead, you want to find out about the property owners in the area and keep in touch with them long term via periodic calls/messages, emails, drop-bys, mailers, etc.- FSBO: Free seller leads on Zillow.

The cringy introvert one is embarrassing, do you not grasp you're out of touch? 

Not possible.The only way to reliably get in touch with motivated sellers is for you to make it easy for them to find you.Get a solid website, work on the 3 pillars of conversions:1.

You have your screening criteria for a reason.If it works, and this person meets your criteria, move forward.If they don't meet the criteria, on to the next.A few folks here have already touched on this: keep in mind the implications behind early termination of the lease and how to reimburse money if it's required.

If we take the minimum for credit, it will be $100 instead of $2,000 or less.We have stock portfolio that we don't want to touch for the rehab around $200,000 that is liquid upon selling. 

If there are other implications beyond what you're saying here, and absolutely have to get in touch and/or get money (security deposits, etc.)...there's always private investigators.

Thanks for your reply, will keep in touch.
