I'm developing a direct marketing campaign targeted at eviction filings in the El Paso area.

He said he was interested in wholesaling, and he owns his own marketing agency, so it would be pretty low barrier of entry for him to get started and hit the right target markets.

You have a great resource here with the forums as well.  

I think you want to really just target the assets you know match the criteria you want.

I would also highly recommend doing some more multifamily specific research - some good resources are @Michael Blank and Joe Fairless' websites:http://www.themichaelblank.com/ (more of a focus on raising money, which it doesn't sound like you're trying to do?)

Does anyone have good resources for how I can discern which realtors are quality and which are not?

Obviously you are having success or else you wouldn’t continue focusing on that target market.

There are some good resources available online.

Having an RE license would be an expensive waste of resources for me but if you have a different strategy, it can be incredibly useful.

Utilize your resources; walk your landlords to their car following a showing or hand deliver a lease to the applicant to better understand the condition they leave their personal property in. 7.
