Instead of sending direct mail to find a motivated seller for a house hack deal, has anyone tried calling places listed as For Rent and asking if they would be interested in selling instead?

This will provide you with more stable income and accelerated learning vs. trying to build your own business while competing against people twice your age with far more experience, hustle, and the motivation of feeding/housing a family.I know one person that started real estate at 18, made a successful business, and is still in it 30 years later.

Should I list all the terms on the ad so as not to waste my time or keep it vague so I can screen tenants through email and text?

Recently I have seen videos that texting or mass texting to potential sellers is now illegal.

You said you are excited to start and that's great motivation.

I’d try calling texting and leaving notes.

Say I find a motivated seller, and we agree on a price.

Just watch out if the PM has any special relationship with the contractor you're using which could muddy their motivations. 

The newcomer must "survive":Streamline the search for motivated sellersSearch for investor-buyers and add them to the mailing listSecondary task.

Why is it better to come across a seller with a lot of equity vs. little equity in there home while executing a direct marketing campaign?
