I wish I could share your optimism and I hope there is egg on my face at the end of this....

When we purchased our first rental property we expenses 25% of our cell phone bills.

POC Adam Karzai adam at lendme.laI can give you his cell if you need it.

Cons: All your eggs in one proverbial basket.

I don't have the brain cells or the pizza boxes to prove what I actually did.I have since plugged all those numbers into my light-years more advanced, but still relatively simple, analysis tools and realized that before I refinanced to lower the mortgage costs I was actually set up for a negative net on those properties.

If you have their phone numbers you can check to see if the numbers are a landline or cell phone by going to http://www.whitepages.com/ select "phone" paste the number and select the search icon.  

Renters shop for houses the same way buyers do and these posts with 3 cell phone pictures don't get much traction.

However, I think putting all your eggs in one basket (market) in unwise. 

That's why you need a big list to drop 2k per week like you mentioned - if that keeps you busy.Check out REI Market Pro they have awesome cell phones for RVM.

I almost recommend, If you have a small nest egg go to a cheap area on the mainland to flip some homes, build your flipping credibility.
