Knock on wood....but all of my tenants are great!

And this was not a couple of young guys knocking it out, they hired contractors.

@Thomas HatleyHi Thomas,Many of these people are on government paid for medication and can be functional--perhaps she is one of them.Maybe go knock on the door and tell her she has to leave in 2 weeks (or start paying you rent) because reason X (with sellers permission) and see what happens.If she pays (or has been paying in cash secretly (move her to on the record payments)--you might have a good long term tenant.

-Deals: I’m looking at doing “driving for dollars”, door knocking and realtor.

Become stronger Spiritually and knock out some big deals

A few days ago, a storm knocked down part of tree on my property and caused some minor damage to the tenant's car.

Whenever I do door knocking to find motivated sellers, I wear my real estate license name tag. 

. ;)The fact that Broker 1 is going to help you reach out to your sphere of influence in the beginning is a very good thing, many new agents get told they need to focus mainly on cold calling and door knocking and don't focus heavily enough (or at all) on their SOI.

He was knocking on the door and she didn't answer. 

You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.Best way to find motivated sellers is to purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.If you have the funds you can run TV commercials, do pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online advertising and social media postings.Bottom line is consistency.
