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.

Once you learn your market and have some buyers lined up, then you'll be ready to start scouting for properties and get your marketing machine started. 

Sounds like you have an appreciation machine of a property.

Laundry machines fail and they are expensive .

I think it's the tenants (dishwasher, washing machine, etc.)

The next guest even complained about the smoke smell so I called the guy out for a second time with this machine to get rid of the smell. 

I also have a good friend working on his MS in Machine Learning there so we may have some mutual friends, I'll shoot you a message.

Great work and best of luck growing the machine!
