If anyone is looking for PM in my area, they will find me.I think BiggerPockets is an excellent vehicle for building a business if you are in a large market, which you are.

I kicked the tires for several weeks and quickly learned that they are still Basic in their functionality. 

CONTEXT-(30k in credit card debt, split between 4 cards, mostly in charged off status)(one vehicle loan that was charged off, is now caught up to current, not paid off, 50k original loan amount)(some card companies are contacting me trying to make a deal, so likely only have to pay 20k of debt off.

I get/got hammered all the time on BP to mentor etc as I am sure you do with your genius tax sale plays and to weed out the tire kickers I find those that are serious are Ok paying for a little bit of my time for one on one. 

And even those aren't really passive because you have to be consistently monitoring the performance of the vehicle to be sure they're not running it into the ground, participating in capital call discussions, etc.

I would prefer to return to more predictable inflationary increases in values and rents so that this investment vehicle of REI can remain intact. 

I'm tired of wasting so much time on dead leads.. does anyone have a good way to get decent leads of high motivated sellers?

Short-term rentals can be great vehicles, but ALWAYS HAVE A CONTINGENCY PLAN.
