@Robert BurnsAs long as Iv'e been researching probate leads I still use direct mail to this day ~ and follow up with a cold call later.You should concentrate for PR's (Personal Representative) that reside outside the state of LA (CA, WY, AK, etc.,) as the PR most likely will be motivated to sell.If the PR provide's a cell phone number yes, I'll usually send a text...

I concentrate my efforts on RE because historically I have obtained by far the best return from RE (over 100% return annual).  

I just want to be free and clear so when we move to the next property we can concentrate on the cashflow business side vs the juggling of the credit card payments.

Ozone will do permanent damage to your lungs in this level of concentration.

At these meetings I also met wholesalers, and multiple real estate brokers who concentrate on investment real estate only in specific markets. 

If you get experienced, maybe tackle a project like this, but honestly, I know full time flippers doing millions of dollars per year that would never touch something that large, too much concentrated risk, too many things to go wrong.

I would concentrate on the BRRRR Book by @David Green.

I would instead concentrate on stalking REO sites, sheriffs auctions, and your local wholesalers (even though I gripe about them all the time)... and get a realtor to set  you up with MLS emails. 

I recommend reading books and potentially attending the events that concentrate on the mindset shifts specifically, like Tony Robbins ones for instance.
