Sometimes I can convince sellers to list at the appointment, sometimes it takes a few days or weeks of following up with them and providing more value to get the listing.Referrals. (3 of 12 transactions) - Post on social media about what you are doing and remind friends and family casually of what you do in real estate sales.Zillow lead generation. (1 of 12 transactions) - I had a six month contract.

Some roadblocks I see are NIMBYism (not in my back yard) due to the social stigma of mobile home parks, zoning laws (which I'm not that familiar with in Los Angeles), and cost of land.I think it might be an attractive investment if it could be done due to low maintenance, low capex, and lower vacancy due to the added costs of moving the home.Thanks!

Maybe they don’t have the money, time or knowledge about how to get started, they’re from a different social status or ethnic background, or they’ve faced some other difficult life event.

Set standards and hold too them, don't look for reasons to ignore risk.Believing in second chances is for social workers not landlords.

I didn't want to give my social security number out, I didn't want my name on their rent roll, I didn't want to show my 1040's to them, I didn't want them pulling my credit history and I didn't want them reporting my address to the credit bureaus.If someone approaches me with an offer to pay for a year in advance, I would consider it as long as they explain to me their reasoning and they agree to let me run a criminal background check.

Through one of my social networks, an RE attorney reached out to me to see if he could add me to his client list. 

An idea for you would be to start talking with everyone in your social circle about what you're doing.

Call the board, my broker, slam me on social media, I have that same duty to a short sale seller as I have to any other client.
