I am interested in buying a long-term turnkey property in a nice area (I live in San Diego so this property would have to be out of state).

Specifically, short-term rentals can help you get REPS status.

Without going into great detail, you are provided 50 motivated leads per month for 1/5th of the cost I have found from “retail” lead companies. 

If you approached them in a way that you had a solution to the eyesore in their neighborhood they would be very receptive to talk and perhaps share contact details about the home owners son if they have them.

Would it be helpful to connect on a call and talk through details of this property and laon types?
