Just get your next properties with commercial/portfolio loans and you skip one of the costs. 

I'm not wholesaler but if I was I'd focus completely online to get leads coming to you, texting, skip trace, and sending letters to older property owners. 

A motel room with 2 beds and no free breakfast is $400 a week. 

@Derek Magdziak In a situation like this I would skip the letters, and I'm a direct mail guy!

They'll either tell you some names to talk to and broaden your circle, or they might say "not off hand" and then a week or two from now approach you after they've had time to think it over.One of the best investors I ever connected with came from breakfast at a local diner. 

If proprrty 1 is not profitable, I would probably skip #2 as well and look to invest elsewhere.

.: I know it is good to have NAR, CAR, MLS ... but like I mentioned, I bought for myself, and I do not bought very often, so I indeed do not need them, so please skip the importance of the NAR, CAR, MLS ...

@Nicholas Glatter I would skip single family and learn multi-family. 1.

Don't skip out on painting the exterior of your rentals, it protects your siding and keeps it lasting much longer.Windows - these can last a long time but check if the frames are breaking or pulling away in corners, that means window frame replacement soon or now and that is expensive.

Even if you do get their name, you'll still need to skip trace their contact since no county website will have this info.
