An experienced developer might be able knock it out in a few hours and save you massive time. 

I spent 8 months knocking doors for ADT selling security systems that they gave away for free with a year contract, I never sold a single unit...

@Mike H I was planning and knocking off $200 for rent.

Any common expenses gets divided by number of units in each building.All receipts are generated by a debit card per building.So if Uncle Sam every knocks on my door, everything is completely separated with all receipts and deposits and electronic payments of expenses.It's so simple to do... or maybe it's because I've been doing this for 20 years?!

This however, did not stop me from going to the 3 tenants and knocking on the door and asking them about their leases and the property.

You might try knocking at the doors to see if the owner/tenant will let you in first and also ask if they have rental agreements or plans to move.Good luck

I'm not actively mailing, door knocking, or doing anything crazy in terms of finding my deals either - just being active in the community and keeping all my options open.

I'm not looking to knock it out of the park on my first deal.

@Brent Coombs  I have more than a handful if not two handfuls of time's wakled up knocked on a door of a home I bought at trustee sale ( sherrifs sale out your way) and the tenant shows me the contract of sale they had with the owner.. owner ripped their payments never paid on the underlying and let it go to sale.. now properties get posted so I am not sure how these folks miss it or they call and the sellers says oh its a boo boo don't worry.. pretty sad state of affairs at that point. 

It is possible - you just have to believe in yourself and take some hard knocks before it happens.
