my cell phone, it can call all kinds of people to do the work that I can't! 

That's kinda like comparing a landline with a cell phone.

There is also satellite Internet (expensive and certain things like multi-player gaming don't work at all on it), and, sometimes, cell Internet (usually expensive). 

If you have the perfect list of guaranteed sellers complete with direct cell phone numbers and a 90 percent chance of them picking up the phone saying "I've been waiting for your call," but you just won't make the call, then you have an ineffective system.That being said, anyone who has read my posts know that I am very pro phone call.The difference between most systems and my personal approach is the quality of lead. 

@Stephen JantzMy cabinet guy is Gus Rodriguez [email protected] Cell 5108253447 (He is in Vegas even though he has a 510 cellphone number).

Probably lost money just a tad under 8 years before I was able to bail myself out of that financial disaster.I agree with @bob bowling - you slaughter the goose and are about to get rotten eggs.

So it is indeed a bit of a chicken or the egg game.Just know that if it's a REALLY good deal, DTI is not going to be an issue and we can work it out once in contract.

I would say 95% of my past issues were on the tenant side of the transaction- cell phones timed out during payment processing or they had multiple accounts and selected the wrong one- so I am not sure how I would be able to help them with these things going forward.  

Sound financial planning is all about diversification (or, in other words, don't put all of your eggs into one basket.)

Divide your nest egg by $100k and that produces X number of properties and X * $50k NOICase-2, buy with a low down payment from your nest egg (assume $10k) and each produces the same $50k NOI.
