There is also satellite Internet (expensive and certain things like multi-player gaming don't work at all on it), and, sometimes, cell Internet (usually expensive). 

If you have the perfect list of guaranteed sellers complete with direct cell phone numbers and a 90 percent chance of them picking up the phone saying "I've been waiting for your call," but you just won't make the call, then you have an ineffective system.That being said, anyone who has read my posts know that I am very pro phone call.The difference between most systems and my personal approach is the quality of lead.

I don't have an overall recommendation for you, but here are a few observations.First, I really don't think you can underestimate the value a W-2 job brings to your ability to obtain financing, which is the life blood of buy and hold.  

I do agree there are some wholesalers that are trying to squeeze the blood from a stone but I hope this is more of an exception than a norm.

Resists chemicals, urine, blood, MEK, acetone, oil, vomit, the whole 9 yards.  

I would say 95% of my past issues were on the tenant side of the transaction- cell phones timed out during payment processing or they had multiple accounts and selected the wrong one- so I am not sure how I would be able to help them with these things going forward.  

Escondido and City Heights were 2 areas in San Diego that made sense from a cash flow standpoint back in 2009 and 2010 when there was blood in the streets.

I believe in using debt to buy real estate, but it comes with inherent risk already and people's natural propensity to spend more or more spend more easily when they are spending something other than the money they earned through blood sweat toil and tears only increases that risk.  

Since this was more of a convenience idea and there was no bad blood, we decided to just maintain the status quo until we want to sell the property completely so we can both use 1031.
