If you are not making those phone calls or setting those meetings, how is the client supposed to know what you can offer them? 

I suppose, from a certain perspective this is sort of straw buying, but in a way I thought it might pertain to wholesaling as well...sort of.So, I've got an individual that has been renting their entire life and decides theyre ready to buy a home, but they're looking to buy on contract with a lump sum down and then a certain budget each month.I've also got an individual wanting to sell a house locally and is willing to sell on contract.  

Time will be the true tell-tale I suppose.

When you sign on with a brokerage there is an IC ( independent contractor agreement ) you must sign and it is supposed to disclose what activities you can do at that brokerage.

I suppose I could call any RE agents in the area and see if they have anyone looking for investment property...other than that I'm at a loss. 

They are supposed to last for 3-4 years in smoke detectors and have a shelf life of up to ten years, which is meaningful since these detectors do not drain the battery until water completes the circuit. 

That is part of my plan I suppose and I believe continuing to grow is my "end game".

I suppose I should further qualify this question to investors doing probate in California, as that is where I am.

I would say virtually all of the deals they offer on with "supposed" cash offers are bogus and never close.

@Greg Linder you aren't going to want to hear this, but you are supposed to deliver it in person.
