I have experience in this type of environments and have seen 200-300% returns in a matter of 3 to 5 years without any leverage used.

They are highly different environments. 

What matters is putting your name out there in any way you can -- they say marketing takes six touches to convert a client, and in today's environment, it's probably a lot more.

Being a tiny fish in an OCEAN it can be intimidating to make those first moves.

I would think there is no reason to get out tenets that are currently happy with their living environment. 

I ended up doing a cash out refi at 30 years in the 3's due to the low rate environment.

Unless your property is worth millions, you are not a big enough fish to fry. 

It becomes an intimidating environment with the seller.

Learn: how to find the money needed to start, where to find the best deals, how to profit from foreclosures, is self-management for you, how to choose a professional management company, negotiation secrets, short sales, REO's and much more all taught in a classroom environment.

Sounds like you have a angler, fishing and testing you out.
