I'm just looking to make the most amount of cash in the least amount of time or generate enough equity in the least amount of time so I can leverage that equity to put a down payment on an apartment complex and run the numbers to strategize from there.

For example, the total difference in the mortgage payment is $324,580 which is a lot of money to gain (or lose) just by strategizing properly.

There were a lot of email's back from agents that now needed to be dealt with, and that was about 50 offers we strategically sent.  

I don't strategically place them, I use postcards and yellow letters strategically. 

For evidence of this look at what happened in 2008-9, see the term strategic walk away.  

So, yes go after them, but be very strategic in what and how much you go after them. 

Look forward to strategizing more and crossing paths at a meet up.

Shortly after the housing crash, big equity funds like Black Stone and American Homes 4 Rent were buying up literally 10's of thousands of homes in very strategic markets that fit their criteria and putting them under good management.

Does anyone consider this when strategizing how to protect themselves and their assets?

A little fire in a strategic location.
