So I would knock those out with the refinance money and save the rest.

I am looking for any advice or pointers to get these 27 items knocked out.

For marketing you can door knock, mail letters and skip trace/text message the owners.

If you are being out bid, look into wholesaling or even door knock yourself.

Personally finding an off market deal yourself via cold calling or door knocking is easier said than done.

A stranger knocking on the door saying the house is being foreclosed, saying he's going to be the new owner, and offering me cash to get out in a month or to give me their rent money.

Leaving the job is just one of my primary goals, but having extra cash flow per month could knock out some of the over time I’ve been working

Maybe, just maybe they knocked off the bean feeder which can stick out above stuff on some models.

Those same knock-down  factors also impacted building material suppliers, which decreased supply and increased building material costs.  

✅cold-called ✅knocked on doors✅called every real estate agent in 3 counties looking for deals.We found a few that worked, but we failed to close 13 offers in 13 deals and lost five months of cold calling and networking until finally, we got one under contract; six hard months later, we closed.That's the story of how I started in Real Estate.
