I haven't really sold my list as a practice, just from popular demand in my market place, and that lead me to wanting to sell me list for a fair price, yet making it worth it for me by easily funding campaigns.I think you're coming from a lot of investors point of view, but on this list there are an abundance of deals to be made, and like I have mentioned, for some reason some marketing lands different deals.

.- Because FHA 2-4 unit is so much more popular than VA 2-4 unit, FHA appraisers tend to have more experience at rental comps than VA appraisers. 

Missouri is a great market but its also a popular market so I'd look to focus on another 3-4 states as well so you have enough opportunities.  

JAX seems to be really popular but my only contacts there are JWB Properties who seem great so far, but they are turnkey, not just brokers.

I haven't done any direct marketing yet and am trying to start with the most popular way of yellow letters.....

I'm not sure how popular that route is, but so long as I can make the mortgage payments and my credit stays good, seems like the sky is the limit with how many properties can be bought.  

I think the company is quite popular as I heard they had to stop taking new business in order to make sure their existing clients still got excellent service, but we'll see what they say. 

However, after researching more about the area, I have realized that there is a lot of 55+ communites in the area, much like some areas in Florida and other popular retirement destinations (which is probably why the absentee owner/owner occupied ratio is so high) So my questions is are, We pulled our list from List Source and selected only SFR’s, so would these 55+ communities be included in that list or excluded?

As you can imagine this particular list is very popular, so there is a lot of competition.

Madison Management is very popular but doesn't service notes in NY and they also are not partners in some Hardest Hit Funds like Georgia's.
