., but here goes my response:I think the market rent differential between a crap-hole studio apartment and a nice three bedroom is too narrow.  

if you narrow it down by age of home it may be a bit easier to find.  

This has led me to search for other methods of heating and ways to projects costs back to the tenant and in doing so I have narrowed the selection down to either converting to natural gas or installing a ductless heating AND COOLING system or systems.

The egress (emergency fire exit) for both units are not up to code because the stairway is too narrow.

I am trying to narrow down the number of entries generated by the list and improve lead quality.

If you're looking for positive cash flow, identifying areas with high potential for cash flow will help you narrow your search and make a decision on which route to take.

I suggest get a good overview and then narrow your field to what works best for you.

A few (and some more) performing notes in a Roth IRA account wouldn't hurt once we get the hang of it.I know you know what position you are after, but could help you in the eyes of others to narrow down what notes you are looking to acquire based on location, price range, % of UPB, owner occupied vs non owner occupied, condition of property, built of property, collateral (land, SFR, mobile home).Maybe you can pick a few states and locations and get it know the location; read up on the local market, any recent laws, redemption period, foreclosure times.I did the above and I believe it would help me cut down looking at assets that aren't in my highest interest if I were looking at multiple assets with little time to put in an offer.

If the deal is fat enough and packaged properly, you won't have any problems finding money.Also, like Levi says, you need a narrow, but deep approach to marketing (not a bunch of superficial trials), then, continue to optimize the same approach. 

If you have an assumed working cutoff valve in the house, you should be able to narrow it down to the house itself at a minimum.
