I have been going through the forums trying to find a solution for my problem and have yet to find one. We're trying to start a direct marketing campaign geared toward inherited properties through probate. Our problem...

Whatever you may need help with, feel free to reach out, I'm just a few blocks away.

Block of mixed duplex, SFH, and 4 Family.

Not sure as to what you consider skirting boards , but tthe houses are  brick , or block for the first level .    

I sent him over to the house last week with a handwritten letter saying that we are a neighborhood family with friends on the block and we are interested in the house.

My day is now blocked into segments (offers, marketing, upkeep, etc) and unless a call comes in with a hot lead and I need to drop everything, my days are 60% predictable.

The path of lease resistance for the water will be to your drain pipe and the water will never get above the pipe and drain rock.

Sometimes the drain pipe is stubbed out too high for a garbage disposal, especially in older houses in which the plumbing was roughed in before the advent of deeper undermount sinks and garbage disposals.

Half block to Atlanta Beltline.Half the houses one street over have been rehabbed, listed or sold for ~$170k.

The trick is in what you mentioned at the end of your post - making it your career.The difference between you and someone who's out to buy something as a sidejob/hobby/potential investment is the hunger and focus.I got my first deal (3 unit "package" in the same block, all from a single seller/realtor so hugely reduced purchase costs on top of the unusually high yield) after "sitting" on several realtors for several weeks, badgering them with daily calls and requests for account numbers to deposit into immediately, as soon as an attractive deal comes up.
