I have been trying to break into the residential space on my own by driving for dollars, knocking on doors, sending letters, and cold-calling lists of vacant, pre-foreclosure, and tax-delinquent properties.

It took a few days for me to be confirmed, so knock it out early. 

Wishing you more prospective tenants come knocking on your door!

A couple of maintenance requests can knock out an entire year of cash flow for you.

If you aren't moving drain lines, a handyman should be able to knock that out for you cheaper than a plumber.

If you are laser focused on specific properties, door knock the owners if they are local.

Door Knocking FSBO's 6.

School of hard knocks is costing me quite the penny, and now I'm questioning REI altogether.

Once you have done all of that, then start running #s on houses so you know what a good deal looks like and hit the streets door knocking and making calls!

Knock on the door, have a friendly (but strong) conversation about the eviction process and then offer cash for keys.
