I've only ever driven through Lynchburg, but seems like a beautiful area.

This is an ideal way to protect yourself from unsavory characters like this one.

To me it shows a difference in character...someone unique and different...

But Jerryll your a 1% no matter what you put your mind to you will succeed.. your smart your driven and articulate the traits you need to do transactional real estate.. when it might be a little tougher crowd.pretty easy to wholesale boarded up homes or out of state land lords who are burnt out.. that takes no particular skills.

Orlando is heavily tourism driven...it's got the hotel rooms and convention traffic like Vegas without the gambling and neon.

I am driven to make moves and am finally in a period of my life where I can invest.

You are making a cogent point.But my point here is that if you think through the series of events from the perspective of the wholly naive and innocent new tenants with motives as pure as the driven snow here: rent the house. move in, worry about lead paint, search the internet for lead paint danger and learn about the reduced danger to adults, buy a $15 swab kit online, test the paint, bring the results to the LL's attention, well, that seems suspicion.

My only addition would be:While the documentation is important, what’s on a piece of paper is less important than the character integrity and commitment of the individuals involved.

We have come to the realization that we are driven in the DIY space and would love more opportunities along those lines with our future properties. 

I have a site for capturing seller leads, but what traffic I get there is driven from direct mail.
