I do not want put too much on my plate because I need to excel in the financing before I will able to physically invest into my own properties.I need the right marketing strategy for connecting home buyers to motivated sellers or their agent.Any suggestions on how I can progress things and start closing deals???

First step you should ask the owner if they are willing to finance the property, otherwise it is all an exercise in futility.

I want to get into a lease, use the rental income to help pay for the property, when I exercise my purchase option.

Physical stuff like cleaning, repairs, etc. are fine because they are fairly predictable in terms of the time and cost required to handle.

If the mailing address is different than the physical address, it may be an absentee landlord.Try reaching out to them with yellow letters or postcards.

You have the right idea with both properties by refinancing your money out and making it work harder for you, but until you physically see what your dealing with you will not know for sure what your getting.

I don't like using a phone app or anything like that I prefer to physically jot them down on paper that I can refer to throughout the day and cross them out as I complete them.

I think that was a poor web/data scraping exercise by someone who does not know how to BCC or use a mass email marketing program.  

Not only that, when I worked out of Ireland travelling to places like Shanghai and South East Asia to do deals I realized after a year clocking over 300,000 air miles (about 20 weeks of physical travelling between airport time and actual flying) that this was a unique form of lunacy, regardless of the profitability of these deals.So I came to fervently believe that we make our own deals, wherever we are, through vision, negotiation and hard work.

We contested the lien, but it took a couple weeks to even get them served with the notice, as they had the wrong physical address on their corporate docs.
