The property came with a tenant in place paying 790 (market rents at 900 but she always pays on time, is very very clean and not once has called to complain about the property, and just extended her lease thru May 2016).

Hello, real quick I am SSG Alfred Swindell  am a wounded warrior from the war and really have a strong interest in doing real estate once i retire in the next year, is there any one out  there able to share any info about cleaning up credit and getting started buying homes on a small scale and working to build it up in years to come.ThankYou. 

Let's clean up this terminology.A Mortgagee is on title since they are granted, through the security instrument (mortgage, deed of trust) an interest in the real property.  

Lead capture is typically done by landing pages from websites. here is BP doing it in action:  http://www.biggerpockets.com/proNote the clean page, lack of "clutter", the frequent buttons to sign up (calls to action)A good way to encourage this is with an ebook or whitepaper download.

Regular people are shut out of downtown and midtown. 

Therefore while I self manage and do it all myself, I know a lot if people follow up and check in regularly to make sure that it's down correctly!

I provide you a property that is safe clean and functional.  

If they do not have any direction and goals then they surely are not going to be helpful getting you maximum results with yours.Regular residential agents you cannot blame them for wanting to work with regular buyers and sellers.

Thank you @Al Williamson for your comment.It is interesting to find a pest control service is a line item for a regular maintenance on most of the people?

A better time to buy it might be at the foreclosure sale, then it will be a clean purchase and you're free to rent it to her or anyone.
