@Charlie Moore some of your statements lead me to believe you do not understand tax law. 

If they weren't home and we don't hear from them after that letter has been delivered, we'll typically call, text, and/or email to touch base (depending on what contact info we have).

I'm pretty sure my direct email is on my profile.  

Once you narrow down the city and the prices you want to invest in you can go to every city and find an online rei group and email questions to local realtors, property managers, investors. you can email me as I will have 2 off market buy and hold houses very soon in the 200k range.

Shoot me your e-mail and phone number.

But the main thing is call back your people that are responding quickly and put in a phone number where you can be reached. the email thing is such a round robin when renting, hopefully this will increase your leads and you'll rent it right away...

for the completed survey (done via email/Google survey to limit paperwork/printing fees/hassle) AND make the gift card/certificate to the town's greasy spoon or similar, and ask the greasy spoon to promote you in exchange for buying all the gift cards!!  

New to the Real Estate Investing Market and I've read some post about a Email List for networking in my local area of WNY

I'll send you a PM with an email address.

That last statement is times 2!
