How I made 5k in 3 days, with only $36!

Yup, $5,000 in 2 days with only $36 invested I did it making 250 postcards on vistaprint. Best thing about this, I didn't have to mail them. I went down 8 streets and dropped these postcards in every mailbox on a Friday night at 7pm.

The next day I received a phone call from a elderly gentleman, saying he was looking to sell a home he owned free and clear on a street where one of my investors purchased 2 properties the month before. As soon as I got that phone call I set up a walk through the next day and locked that property up for 13k, knowing that same investors purchased his for 30k in the same condition. Attached is the front copy of my postcard I used, I'm planning to put out 1k this month. And I only paid $52 for those, I also made my new cards a little more eye catching. With more descriptive information on the back.

Yep, I only knew about the mailbox thing because my husband worked for the Postal Service for a brief time. That's why the pizza flyers get stuck in the storm door. If you tape them to the door or something, it's fine.

Funny about the grammar lady.... but I'll admit I'm a bit of a grammar nerd myself. As a service to BPers I'd be glad to offer free proofreading services for flyers, etc ;)
