Hi Sean,If there’s sufficient demand and you have a qualified tenant prospect, a build to suit strategy could work.With a quality property presentation and a direct cold calling strategy to those corporate tenants that represent the highest and best use, I believe you’ll succeed.What community is the property located in?

I did really well with it and built my business by doing that.Is there anyway to get a large list of numbers to cold call distressed homeowners and be able to target them or do i need to scrub them myself by looking through craigslist.Does anyone use cold calling in their business?

@Kellie Alkayam If cold-calling doesn't work out, another option is for you to door-knock locally on properties that you notice has an ideal yard.

1-3, 4-7, 1 pack or more, none - I will not allow anyone who indicates that they smoke to rent from me even if they say they will smoke outside (they will smoke inside once it gets cold), turning a smokers unit is very costly once they leave, and you could incur fire damage from negligent smokers on the interior or exterior of your property - a week ago a tenant caused 10-15k worth of damage on a porch at one of my duplexes7.

One that did not want to close, cold feet , the buyer had to sue.

Taken quite a few cold showers, etc.I wouldn't trade it for anything - and have been grateful that the wife at times has been both supportive but willing to make sacrifices of her own.Regarding dust - depends on your remodel. 

It sounds like the company offering this internship simply wants you to do their cold calling and farming for deals. 

Its not that big of a deal to step outside (and keep in mind it gets cold here), it actually gives people a reason to walk around and congregate in ways they would not have otherwise and finally, no one comes home smelling like an old ashtray anymore.Moral of the story?

@Jeff Greenberg  Jeff I don't play in this space.. but know a few folks that own larger multis etc.. and when conversing with them they get cold called by commercial brokers quite frequently.. and I think if someone came to them wanting to buy they would want to vette them financially up front.

I made 12 cold calls for the first time and 5 answered.Where can I find OPM?
