You should look at some of that and decide what speaks to you.If you do this and you're still in the ' I just want something I can make money off of mode', let me suggest this.

While speaking with the gentleman he informed me that he would like to sell the home for $300,000.

NO Booze  just coffee and soft drinks but of course designer coffee we are in the Pac NW after all.it was a HUGE turn out over flowed the office LOL.but I did do it with another person.. he helped cordinate etc.. and I invited a few people that he thought were direct competitors of his and the next day this kid calls me and basically chews me out.. .. that was the end of that relationship and the last time i go to any meet up other than if I am invited to speak as a guest speaker..

@Shimira Greene I can't speak about Alabama but locally Baltimore city will do this on occasion (MD does  tax liens not deeds).

Keep in mind that quality property management is the key to a successful rental, once it's acquired.

Take that money and invest in quality linens.

Hi Jeff,I can only speak for my area of the country (Seattle, WA) and what is typical out here, 6%. 

The other side was already occupied by good quality tenants, he’s very anal with care to the property and who he rents to.6.)

There are a ton of reason why a person may be "off the grid" so to speak, But if they're a good tenant otherwise I'd do my best to create a "work-around" 

This speaks volumes to me, thank you.
