@Ben Toth, It all depends on the niche you are choosing to pursue.For wholesaling: Big Buks for Junk Houses by Randy Phillips & If you cant wholesale after this I have nothing for you by Todd FlemingLease Options: Turn Key Investing with lease options by Matthew ChanOwner Financing: My Life & 1,000 Houses: The Art of Owner Financing by Mitch StephensGeneral: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor By Gary KellerThese books along with several others give you an idea of what is possible.

(Martial arts, fitness, certain types of medical, etc.)I would appreciate any input from anyone who has done this and how it worked out.

You could also focus on the great financial advantages of renting/down-sizing (travel more, no more yard to care for/repairs, buy an RV, visit family more)Host a senior-focused event at your facility (maybe show an uncut version of Woodstock haha) or live music, a Social Security expert speaker or Doctor to address health issues, a fund-raiser, art show, etc. and hand out flyers with a special "one month free" coupon attached Have exercise classes for seniorsWeekly bingo nightsPromote your events for free on community calendars, newspapers, seniors sections of papersPrint door hangers and get some kids to hang the door hangers at trailer parks, older communitiesEncourage your current tenants to invite friendsRent a 15-passenger bus ($50) and offer free transportation to key eventsSponsor events at senior centers in the areaCo-Sponsor service club (Rotary, Kiwanis, etc who have many senior members) eventsPut up banners and balloons when you have eventsI hope at least a few of those ideas might spark some interest.

@Ken Nguyen Even with perfect data, there's art and science to it and you seldom know if you got it right anyways on a per-property basis.  

Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler that has visited 54 countries (and love hearing travel tips), a martial arts fan with black belts in two martial arts, and I read a book every week (and always love good reading suggestions).How did I get involved with real estate?

I live in center city Philadelphia in the Fairmount/Art Museum area and I have a huge grass backyard that I am trying to figure out how to rent. 

Well, actually it was useless long before that.Oh, one more thing--about that software you wanted to convert your PDF rent rolls to Excel...Adobe already invented that. 

Thank you for the Adobe I truly appreciate it

I have since put that part of my life behind me and have built two full time real estate businesses in my 5 years of experience, and have mastered the art of building systems.My team and I flip 10-20 houses a month, and we are just starting.

Greetings fellow Investors, looking to diversify my "wholesaling" efforts this year and the art of finding more distressed properties and in this case, property owners.
