I would find an electronic contact.

As you and your friend network with people involved with Memphis real estate I'm sure many of them would absolutely love to take a look at a list of the properties and your asking prices.Aside from that, ask the Apartment Association of Greater Memphis if they have a deals page either in their newsletter (if they have a monthly newsletter) or on their website.I'm a member of the Erie, PA Apartment Association and they have both a monthly newsletter with a 'for sale' page as well as a similar page on their website. 

The retainers are real money As far as agentsI would encourage you to look into the newsletter from Steve Pinza (https://pinzagroup.com/) They are a larger broker in the Bay Area and they do a lot of work in Oakland.

I have used Harry’s firm (Harry Marsh Law) for a double assignment closing last year and the process was very smooth and all electronic. 

Your tenant fills it out, takes it to their bank, and their bank electronically transfers the money into your account.

Most allow signing electronically.

You can strike out any portion you're not comfortable with (not by electronic signature, print it out).

Leads - from the internet or run ads in local papers.Negotiate the price on the phoneMake a trial offer - a trial offer is an offer well below what they wanted - a TRIAL OFFER  will smoke out their true motivation.Always ask for contract candy - that is anything they can add to the deal - all the furniture, owner financing, interest free note for their balance or part of it, a car, money back at settlement etc.Send a skinny contract for electronic signaturesGet it inspected, have agents look at it, get compsIf my offer is too high, go into second stage negotiations (lowering the offer).Advertise the property for sale - if no takers - have a public auction.With remote investing the United States is your market - learn how to do it and you will always have leads, deals and settlements.Good luck,Charles

realty has a flat fee listing service for the MLS and they overnight a sign and an electronic lockbox.
