There are many ways to find deals.Some are better than others, and some are simply the best, yet there are some advantages and drawbacks to all.A lot of thought goes into strategic lead generation and this is where there is a huge continuous debate going on which lead generation method is the best.You can focus your effort into just blindly getting leads where you continuously have to do the work and/or pay money to stay in business, or you can focus on doing the legwork now and set up your automated lead generating machine so you continuously and automatically get leads whether you do the work  or not.Most investors do not have the patience or foresight to realize  that lead generation is something that takes finesse, technology, systems and opt for  always grinding  as long as they see something happening (which is not the same as "seeing results".That said,  your question  should not be  "what are some ways to get deals".Your question is how do I set up a lead generation system that will provide me with continuous deals and make money from these deals.You cna do door knocking to find deals, you coul dput up bandit signs to find deals right?

Fence if needed- depends on contractor.  2 months.  3 days effort.6. 

I absolutely would spend the time and effort getting the rent. 

I will say that we charge a mark for the material because we're spending the time and effort to get it and taking full responsibility for the material.If comes down to cost or trust, buy it yourself.

So many people think they need to buy a SF or dupelx on their own and end up spending a ton of money on it, cash flow very little and spend a bunch time time and effort for little results, when they had an alternative strategy staring them in the face. 

Anecdotally, most companies don’t have the infrastructure or the desire to allow people to continue working remotely indefinitely for a multitude of reasons (i.e. training new employees, collaborative team efforts on new initiatives, company culture, supervision, etc.).

We did research in the area last year and finding a broker w STR experience will turbo charge your efforts.

Very common scenario so it was important for us in our marketing to make an effort to understand who inherits..  

I’ll identify a few additional lead generation strategies I believe I can have success with and see how well they align with various brokerages efforts to bring in leads.

That's a fantastic story and it's never bad to focus your efforts on something outside of Real Estate.
