I feel the market is gambling.

You don't want to spam them.

Basically you've got to call someone licensed to broker and say "hey I'm not super rate sensitive, open your junk mail please" since all of us are inundated with spam from these outfits on a daily basis, and for the most part aren't super enthusiastic about working with them.

I had a VA send the emails and track them to avoid spamming the sellers.

They keep track of who they contacted so we don't spam the seller.

They tend to have affairs and gamble.

I don't want to gamble that I'll be able to rent it out at the higher rate.Thanks Frankie, At this point I can't tell if there is any value add stuff, because I've only seen the outside which looks alright.

I also gambled on very bad section 8 and lost thousands.

.$10k/year in negative cash flow verses your appreciation....your gamble and your call.

The email address he responded with is an actual address (not one of those weird spam ones).
