I'm having trouble finding an end game for this one and would hate to let another opportunity slip through my fingers as I have spoke with a lot of sellers but have not yet closed a deal.

My Dad is my Attorney and all I hear is horror stories about bad renters so I have tended to stay away from the rental game.  

I see you're interested in the long game.

chaz, I wouldn't even know what to bring, like I stated, I'm new to the game.

If the agents you noticed were dialing through zip codes they were probably using something like Cole Real Estate Resource/ Cole Directory.

I've given myself a time period of 5 years to make this happens as I have a primary job in which I love and want to take my time and really understand what I am doing in the RE game. 

@Darnell Palmer Lenders want you to have some skin in the game if it isn't a primary residence.

If you got a 30 year note you might consider throwing an extra hundred or 2 towards your mortgage over your payment amount, it will make a huge difference early in the game. 

@Natasha Wade Ok I did not comprehend the OP was talking about just being able to Look at the home.That falls on the RE broker to Vette his client... and newbie agents can really waste time with tire kickers and those that talk a great game but have no funds to back them up.its part of the maturation process of an agent.

I'm game to try anything.
