I never placed great thought into what if someone picks up the phone or says yes I do want to sell.

I'd highly recommend having a phone conversation with a few agents to see who you get along with, and also can be on the same page with. 

I have talked about the importance of screening before, and it’s critical to screen diligently so you get tenants that will pay each month.

I had a few decent responses, but no one truly motivated and of course a few that were angry or just hung the phone up. lol I've also been Driving for dollars, and I found a few houses I just can't get in contact with some of the owners.

Hi Thomas,  a few ideas are...1 - you can hire someone to answer the phone for you. 

Do some reading in the forums and reach out to a handful by phone. 

I've tried calling and get tied up on the phone with folks who cant't "buy a donut" much less qualify for a lease option on a property. 

Do your due diligence, read previous discussions, review referenced, select two or three providers and talk to them on the phone, then you can make your selection. 

@Kameron Carson They won't be in a nice easy list unless you want to pay for one you can drive around find properties that look like they might be a bit run down, write down the address, when you get back home you can look up the owner, then you can either write them a letter or do some investigate work / pay for a skip trace service to find a phone number and call them. 

My main advantage is that when I get the Seller on the phone I have multiple options when it comes to income.
