Rather, I'm trying to identify a market in which to focus my initial efforts.

I only control my own efforts.

This all takes time, effort, and the ability to know how to arrange and structure each piece of the puzzle.

By highest return, I mean from your time and effort at this point in your life.

Good chance you can have a conversation with the holder of the second and let them know they could own this property unless they drastically reduce the interest rate and payment.Only make the effort if you would consider keeping it.

A spammer has done nothing to build any of these attributes.In my experience if you genuinely try to help others succeed and share what you can, you are much more likely to have a receptive audience.

Most people aren't willing to put in that kind of time and effort...

Honestly, I would rather have the loans on the rentals as well in an effort to decrease AGI and any deductions that are limited from there.

So, its reasonable for you to expect him to pay that amount.Now, most area require a landlord to make a reasonable effort to find a new tenant.

Afterall, we put in a considerable amount of time and effort and money to build the portfolio (not a real example).Any other strategies out there?
