", but "what can I offer" in the way of deals actually closing so they can earn a commission.

Ideally, both.However some reasoning I have seen and feels logical is as follows:If you reduce your expenses by $X, you have saved $X.If you increase your income by $X, you have generated $X - taxes - value of time worked to earn that money - any other factors.So in terms of low-lying fruit (what is easiest/quickest to accomplish) cutting expenses AND THEN SAVING THE DIFFERENCE is what I would recommend doing first.My wife and I put this into practice. 

How would you market towards sellers that want to move because the neighborhood has become less desirable?

Ive met people who own nearly 10 Turnkey properties,  which works for them as they had no construction experience or desire to learn or move to another state. 

If $90,000 can get you a turn key property in a better area with better rent compared to a $60,000 property that needs $10,000 in repairs and might be in a less desirable area....maybe it's worth it.Don't ever expect anyone to ever look out for your best interest more than you.

The earning potential is glorious and for now, I'd rather have the influx of folks versus a tenant I'm not educated enough to service.

I have come to believe that the underwriters - who get things at the last minute - need to feel needed and must find something - usually something nit picky and small - to earn their keep.
