It's all over the forums; so, it must work or it is just a waste of time for the poster and readers.I think this type of marketing does work, sort of like the old school telemarketers.

I'm assuming at least one of the house flipping firms in the area has the basic template for me to sort of copy. 

It also seems like the leads may pile up too high for me to handle sorting out the bad from the good leads.

***You'd want to make it worthwhile to foreclose and also be safe***If someone is an A Paper borrower just needing to close fast, some of my investors will go 75 LTV.You can also always feel more comfortable on a purchase rather than a refi, as people are bringing skin into the game, not trying to exit.

You sort of answered this in your post though, where you mention keeping the cashflow for myself, and I don't think it's a great idea to charge an upfront fee for these deals.

If your looking for the least amount of risk and biggest bang for your buck I would look for a company that is a reputable turnkey provider thats actually in Detroit and offers things such as an efficient boots on the ground team, all sorts of established local relationships, solid in-house management, an operation that is highly skilled and well versed in section 8, a company that has proven relationships with both out of state and local lenders.
