The idea being to promote studying instead partying (potentially decreasing the damage/complaints on the property), incentivizing the tenant to stay throughout their college career (decreasing turnover/vacancy), and developing some additional motivation for a tenant to choose my property over another similar property. 

In some areas the Absentee Owners lists aren't doing as well because so many investors are are mailing to the same owners.Some newer motivated seller lists are catching traction but haven't yet been over-mailed.

I feel like more context is needed to know the true motives here.

I started looking for deals that would cash flow positively but only looked at SFHs and small-multis...the numbers on this condo met my criteria, the seller was motivated, and there was no logical reason not to pull the trigger--so i did it.

Ellis,That makes sense and now I understand the motive behind getting the license. 

(FYI: I got the property address while driving for dollars, skip traced, called and left a message, got a text back to call and talk tomorrow)

I kinda feel bad coz I'm constantly texting and emailing them too 😁.I'm not surprised.

We're real estate friends... hang out at meetups, text and talk regularly, etc.

I am so motivated and ready to start the process of becoming an investor for the time!

Bank of America, Chase, etc. all have it.The candidates can snap it from their phones and text it to me.The pay stubs are sent to me via email, etc.In a lot of cases, I wouldn't need to even pull a credit report because I tell them that they MUST log on to the website where they got it originally and prove to me what was sent to me was not altered.Since I have been doing this for about several years, not one candidate has altered their credit report.
