Yeah, my worry when posting the question was also that it's not taken as insensitive to the situation, given how many people Irma has impacted, I hope it doesn't come across that way.  

Rent control of course makes things more difficult but I know East L.A doesn't fall under rent control..I guess it's an 'unincorporated' part of L.A County. 

I decided that I want to use this method as it doesn't take me away from my family to "pound pavement" (which in my neck of the woods could get you shot) and is not going to cost me money like direct mail marketing does.

Jill doesn’t say anything.

This doesn't provide the whole picture, if you are using a conventional mortgage you will have to wait 6+ months for cash-out.

Good if you're on a budget and paying 3-4 figures per month for just 500 names doesn't make sense.

The abbreviations and acronyms are always fun to look up, but my favorite is " ROI " who doesn't like money? 

So that clause by itself doesn't guarantee there is any money. 

HI Michael, So that 2 yr property management holds true for some lenders like wells fargo ( I just left there) but where I'm at now no you dont need it. what we would do if you dont have a lease agreement already lined up is order a investment property appraisal and the appraiser would determine what the rental market is there. if that doesn't work we have a portfolio lender as a plan B that will most likely do it as they don't play by fannie and freddies rules.
