But I see people turning long term or highly appreciated primaries in to rentals.

I am looking forward to connecting with people in the area and sharing wisdom along the way!

For a vacation rental, I could see people thinking they look dirty / streaky. 

I've seen plumbers and builders stop hiring because all the "young" people start the job and then don't put in any effort or stop showing up.Figure out what you want to make hourly, then start telling everyone and their brother that you need work, how many hours you are available, etc. 

However, does that include people who wouldn’t qualify?

Attend local real estate investor (REI) meetings and get to know people.

So if you see a foreclosure, it's not a typical thing, and the people involved are not typical. 

So it probably makes sense to send targeted letters to people who you're most interested in connecting with.Solid advice, thank you.

Like most people have noted, Costco and Amazon are the best places to go.

What’s your process for vetting and selecting the right people for your team?
