LOL..thanks @Lucas Carl, they had professional photos day in my office a few weeks back, figured I would take the free upgrade

We required Govt issued photo ID, pay-stubs, and our application filled out online,completely, without blanks and with sufficient, accurate info to contact all references. 

This can translate into about 17%-18% IRR on a 5-year, if there are no additional hurdles or catch-up for the sponsor. 

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

I don't like jumping between properties trying to play catch up.

Sooner than later the world WILL catch up with me and see that SEO is the way to go.

But what that gentleman failed to mention is that 90% of that 2% will yell at you, call you names, demand you take them off their list and wonder how you found them, just to polite tell you to go ♥♥♥♥ yourself in the yingyang.If you have to send thousands of pieces just to catch a potential lead.... if you have to throw out 1000's of lines just to catch a fish, although you may (or may not) catch a fish that hardly justifies the method.People are completely blind to the facts and I just do not understand why.

You can also catch the VRE from Richmond to DC and work remote when possible in Richmond.

Asking for photos or evidence especially with bedbugs and the like can be helpful.

I agree that if you want to make a deal doing DMM that this is the way you have to tackle it.But this advice is similar to, "if you want to catch a chicken keep running after it... one day you are bound to catch it".
