To do your job effectively you must provide great customer service and be attentive to detail.My suggestion is to get an air bnb profile and look at airbnbs in your market with poor reviews and see if there is a way you would be able to provide value to the owner if his ratings and reviews are not so great ( be a great problem solver ) I will be writing a forum post soon on my experience as a Co Host .Hope This Helps .Best,Kev

I am mainly looking for a problem solver here to solve my problem and propelling me into real estate success. 

Likewise, if you can't get it re-zoned (at least eventually), then the person you try to sell it to next will likewise encounter the same barrier to entry, and will be faced with the exact same decision.My advice: if you're somewhat experienced in REI and/or you're a problem solver and willing to put in the work: give it a shot but make sure you are adequately compensated for your efforts.

As seen by Micheal Biggs response, some might be out of anger but follow up has its stages.Denial, anger, acceptance (whatever) but persist, you'll get the deals.Make yourself known to the seller (PR/executor) as a problem solver and warm up the lead with follow ups

All should re-write the term "Real Estate Investor" with "Real Estate PROBLEM SOLVER, for profit". 

Here you want to be a problem solver not just an investor trying to steal a property.

(We are problem solvers here amiright?)

If you can understand the seller's needs, you can be a problem solver and maybe negotiate a lower price creating a WIN-WIN Situation, for everyone.

Wholesalers are problem solvers and negotiators, while many realtors are just listing agents, the best realtors in the industry know how to wholesale as well, and the difference in between the succesfull ones and the others, is the networks we are able to build to move properties quick.

Be a problem solver.
