But here's some brainstorming thoughts:John Fedro has  a lot of youtube videos, too. 

Stay focused on your goal and through sheer volume, you will draw in leads. 

we worked through the old owner and tried to get to the kids when ever possible.. all leads were leads until the logs were on the ground.. a few things we did to speed things up  were as posted above and pretty obviouswe set up 1031s  but hard to sell to an 80 year old who could not fathom how that could be legal.and a few did charitable remainder trusts  probably even more complicated and the ones' where we bought those deals I would say the sellers were pretty savvy folks not your typical tree farmer. so as many have stated whats the sellers best interest and your best interest is many times vis a vi taxation not aligned in any manner.

@Jay Helms My daily activities to achieve this goal have been listening to 1-2 of the BiggerPockets Podcasts per day, watching YouTube videos on deal analysis.

Which in turn usually leads to crap rehabs and forcing the rents too high for the folks living there( not sustainable ).

My lease specifically states tenant responsibility to reduce the risk of mold and holds them liable for causing it.At this point, you let one kid out of the lease, so that probably made things worse and lead to the other parents believing their kids should not be there. 

I also point them to my videos and case studies we produced.

This reminds me of a YouTube video advising a HELOC instead of a mortgage.

In a syndication (especially if you’re not in the country) you’re somewhat dependent on the lead to figure it out.Here’s where I see the fly in the ointment.
