Cynical and morally I have real problem with investors angling to profit from destruction of families and society.  

I would first encourage you to hire a retail leasing broker in your market. 

It is encouraging. 

I encourage you to keep your goal high, but keep in mind that buying a property with an ARV of 250-350 will be difficult to find at 80.

I work with several investors in this area and I would encourage you to not rule out Franklin & Brentwood.

Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

We started playing around with AI Callers for inbound lead appointment setting, the results are pretty encouraging.

If potential clients wanted to do that, we strongly encouraged them to work directly with a tax attorney with specific knowledge of IRA rules.

I've been encouraging my daughter to do this and was hoping to hear no problems with it.

I remember 6 or 7 years ago, the hosts of the BiggerPockets podcast would encourage investors to go to local meetups to meet with other local investors to network and learn about real estate investing in their areas.
