I was speaking to a real estate attorney who made it sound like I would need a real estate license to mail to prospective clients.

Others may need to be creative, you just need to make sure you hit a simple savings rate and invest competently. i appreciate the advice. my plan is to be saving about 75k/year while I'm paying off student loans and then jump up to about 125-135k/yr once loans are paid off. since my most immediate term goal is to reach partial FI (have the FI to work part time) I see REI as a means via cash flow.the other complicating factor is I think the financial prospects for my field are quite bearish and anticipate a decline in salary in the long term due to: -decreased reimbursement from medicare, increase in PAs/NPs, and and significant increase in residency training programs which will create a surplus of Emergency Physicians -- all of this leads me to believe that if I want to maintain a high savings rate in the future I may have to work even more to get the same income I'm currently getting.

That way maybe can separate my normal clients from random prospecting clients and better being able to keep those leads separate and clean.

Owner occupant home sales drive the market when it comes to property values, and it sounds like you're excited about the prospects in that area. 

I'm good on the list - I'm looking for any tips on wording of the postcard - should I create a website so the prospect can have some additional interaction to encourage them to reach out? 

The rental is pretty old, and less appealing to prospective tenants. 

California State law requires existing and prospective family child care providers to give their landlords a 30-day written notice of their existing or intended family child care businesses.

I guess the prospect of the Cash-out refi seems less risky as It's just 337/month and only $52 more than what I'm paying now on that property due to the lower interest rate now.

You will need a copy of this lease agreement from the seller to give to prospective buyers.

The prospect should sign that it is OK for you to do that.
