@Lynne Garris I will message you with a recommendation to get phone numbers, emails, and mailing addresses through skip tracing :) I would say that you should layer your direct mail and other forms of marking like ringless voice mail or cold calling. 

The only layer you are adding is the hard money on the buy. 

You don't need it.You already have layers of protection with:Your STR insurance.Having a mortgage.

That is the most important thing you can do with a vital team member. 

Right away, though, we got smacked with a $38,000 roof because the last several owners had chosen instead of fixing the roof to just add more layers on top of a roof that had already been leaking for at least five years.The moral of the story is, foundations aren't the only extreme capital expense.

It can be tough to find, usually burred a few layers deep.

Its an extra layer of protection.  

If you have lots of sludge in the tank that blocks the outflow, that probably means the tank doesn't have a lot of cultures which eat at the sludge layer, so it introduces them and they do their job, which eventually unblocks the outfow. 

So with that, common practice is to flip out of S corps and hold out of LLC's (for a second layer of liability protection, first being insurance policy).

And a person can add layers, for example, say you don't have good cash either but do have a friend, relative etc. who would partner and has the cash, done, as C4D doesn't have those nightmares of red-tape on seasoning for funds etc..
