Jason, I don't disagree with your general advice on addressing common objections.

What to invest in depends on what your objectives are. 

Let's discuss your objectives.

Some investors are incredibly stingy when it comes to their numbers so when they are trying to find a deal it might take a little more time and effort because they are going for quality over quantity.  

One data source may be better in quality or quantity of info; just depends on the individual market.  

The objective is to leverage both time and money.

My goals used to be 100 properties, but when I got to 20, I started to realize it is not about quantity, it is about quality and income of assets. 

I have personal experience with that and it wasn't fun.As a general guideline, a joint venture with more than 5-7 investors may become difficult to manage, particularly if there are multiple decision-makers with different ideas and objectives.

Because of that feature limitation, I ended up swapping them out for dumb irrigation controllers.As an experiment, one time I tried leaving a pre-configured wireless access point with a tenant specifically for smart smoke detectors and irrigation controller, but the tenant objected because it meant I could potentially access their network whenever I wanted, which was theoretically true (not that I would do it).

Their main objective is to find off-market properties for investors.
