Its too difficult to guess what you are looking for.  

It took me about 5 years before I had a solid business of repeat clients. 

Is it a lot of work, or difficult ?

Working full time, finding properties, and putting in offers has been difficult for me.

It looks to be a little difficult to book trips though.

It is difficult to get to the right person in a big bank if the house is not listed.

Hey Jeff, I'm a former license tax professional, Im not taking on any new clients but I can give you a recommendation if you private message me.  

I am looking to find a strategy that is also helpful to clients who are being foreclosed on by the bank.

So remember, for legal and tax planning, a good CPA will recommend that clients hold their properties in an LLC or Limited Partnership and run their businesses as S Corporations to avoid self-employment taxes.

If they don't commit... it becomes Non-Refundable, and I keep it to compensate Clients for lost marketing (I let any future incoming leads know that the property is in "backup" status).
