And you don't win the bid yes you just return the check common practice.. 

Best practice seems to be use leverage as much as you can, but that doesn't appear to be an option right now as HML would wipe out any cashflow.

Possibly local call centers or maintenance centers could help with this too.Additionally, if you're looking for a couple of podcasts to listen to you can start with A) https://doorgrow.com/category/podcast/B) https://billcaskey.com/category/the-2x-podcast/Just some cool stuff in here to help you start looking at modern tools and practices.

Disclaimer: While I’m an attorney licensed to practice in PA, I’m not your attorney.

I'd like the person to some of the initial ads, and them some follow ups over time.So I gather from your earlier comments that it is not good practice to retarget for the same objectives that I am using for my primary origination campaigns? 

That means you start with the lawyer.Second, I DO like Noorden's practice of telling the seller that he might assign the contract.

The latter sounds more attractive as it seems that it would decrease my costs and be a lot more practical from a logistical standpoint.Thanks again!

Just based on conversations I've had with others in the SD BP community, I don't believe that it is (though someone with practical experience, please correct me if I'm wrong).

I highly recommend "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO because it's written by attorneys with tons of practical advice about marketing, screening, leases, breaking leases, security deposits, and more.

I’ve also been running numbers on almost ever deal I see just to get the practice and experience.
