The fact that your property manager only advertises on Zillow is worrisome.

Hey Roy - Congrats on your success!

Good morning everyone, I have been researching and listening to podcast on real estate that past few year and I have yet to make a deal.  

What I mean by that is that paying for leads that get sent to you just because you are paying for them is not smart scale right now, it costs too much for lukewarm.I was on Zillow Flex with my team of 50 for years and crushed it, but we had to kiss a lot of frogs at 35 percent referral fee.

And then we negotiate with the owners on the "owner financing" options that they would give to us (if they are even open to it).If someone needs "private financing" or "alternative" financing...we can still make our normal realtor commission here and then they can show for any property.I hope some of what I am saying makes sense. 

In our price point and made sense on paper

Since I live in Orlando, I pass by the villages (right off both sides of turnpike) on my way to Ocala.
