If that doesn't produce results, go to your next step.It's just business.

I'm 54 and my goals are to have 5 or more income producing properties in the next 6 years that will supplement me in retirement in the next 8 to 10 years.

I will add that if you are looking at multi-family properties, you need to get your lead funnel producing potential deals.

I'd give them an ultimatum to start producing or explore other avenues to get it leased to decent tenants.

I'm not comfortable with entering into a debt service homes that are not producing income, and for which I have effectively become an entity that is subsidizing someone's housing needs (this is the learning curve for me). 2.

You still have a solid asset underpinning the invested funds, and several means of producing income.

I'm also a Music Producer, Engineer and a recording artist.

Data/TraceText Blasting: I would run a campaign for text blasting targeting the common lists of High Equity/ Low Equity/ Tax Delinquit/ ForclosureISA Team(inside sales): I would run a campaign to contact all the leads that didn't have a testable number or we're "Hot" ready to go leads.( I have a few other verticles for producing leads like Radio Ads/ Craigslist blasting/ more - these are also a potential method)The challenge I'm currently at is, I want to scale this model up, but this costs money to scale.
