Sometimes issues just do happen, I've had to get some work done on places I've bought as well due to unfortunate circumstances - diverter valve replacement, laundry machine replacement, toilet piping recall that sent parts but had to hire a plumber, etc. and you can either keep on going, hire someone else to manage the property, or sell the place.You say you're willing to put in the work and aren't afraid to put in the effort and that mindset will definitely help you.

Buy lists of owners of properties of the type you might be looking for - multi-family 2 to 4 units, or who would be motivated single family owners:  send direct mail - lots of it.I do a lot of #1 and #3. . . if you have a brand new marketing machine, you need to spend more money on #2, if your machine is 15 years old like mine and your website already ranks, and you want to target your leads to specific properties and areas rather than a blanket ad across the metro, then I spend more money on direct mail and retargeting. 

These companies are marketing machines and easily sell 50-60 properties each month.
