Roaches, noise, smoking, drama, small children, etc.

It doesn't mean no noise, no neighbors - but it does mean the tenant is allowed to live in the property rented from you "peacefully." 

I think you're nothing but a bitter individual with an axe to grind for no reason.

no argument there...i am already working that end of the spectrum. however i don't want to deny myself a chance to make some money in the interim. the reason i put that out there the way i did is because i'm looking to partner with someone and "pay the cost" of not having the key elements (no money,credit) while i "do whatever it takes" to get in the fast lane. my best thought so far is to piggyback on a line of credit using property to secure while i rehab low price homes here in alabama initially. i am offering 2% over the cost of the line as well as 2 points on the draw for purchase and acquisition as well as 20% on the net sale. all the other components are there (knowledge,expereince,construction teams, retailers, marketing and financing through conventional,fha or notes) that is why i am grinding everyday, no is not an option and plan b is plan a...i'm sure you know all the cliches.

They are elderly, healthy, retired, live very comfortably, make minimal to no noise at all, very clean and they pay on time all the time.

Bobby you might want to connect with Chris Clothier on this.I have some friends that do it and when you add a few hundred rentals and pay your pm's and all of that maybe 50k to 60k a year for yourself.It's a grind type business built on volume.

Any suggestions for getting traction and parsing the signal to noise ratio?

Don't buy all the hype about OPM and HML's and all that noise.

Naturally they can steal them if they want however if someone enters the property the frigging noise is so loud that its hard to remain in the building.

With that said, the hustle and grind are fun and exciting.
