After my first day yesterday of making 60+ calls and basically getting no where with any of the calls, I decided to spend my morning researching Cold Calling to improve my approach to finding sellers in the market.

To be cash neutral, this would need rents approaching $6k/month. 

The demand is demographically driven by 82 million millennials, who have decided to get out of their leases and buy a home now that the oldest one of them are approaching 40 years of age next year. 

What's the best strategy or approach?

Hi BP Family, I understand that many newbies and even some experienced investors are not really sure how to start working with a lender, have a clear understanding of the multiple ways you can finance your deals, or know how to obtain "funding" partnerships.After speaking to many investors we are seeing this pattern of investors being unsure of how to even start initially approaching a lender.To start, I think it would be great for lenders to get the answers to this information.

I network as much as I can with my SOI and many sellers prefer to try out the pocket listing approach especially for properties that are in physical distress (meaning - need moderate to light rehab).  2.

When we look at the cost to make the additions, we approach the cost of a new home.

In many cases it's better to go in with a "blind approach" and not mention the passing of the property owner.

It seems your opinion was formed with the help of licensed professionals, but a more conservative approach would be to avoid having any disqualified person (including yourself) perform actual work or provide services on these assets.
