If you are in the Virginia area and are an investor, own a property, or own a business, I would love to speak with you about your current real estate situation. I have many properties located throughout the Richmond/Northern VA area that will suit all needs from medical to industrial to large office space. Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or move, send me a message and I'd love to talk!!

I am currently working on a business plan for a REI similar to the way you described yours. I have a clear vision of what I want the middle and later stages to look like, but I am still looking at how to start and build a strong foundation.

I've been looking into buy and holds and other avenues of starting a base, but I haven't found something that I can get a clear vision of how it will work.  Basically what I am saying is that I know what I want to do, and I know how it all works, but I'm not clear on how it will all lead into branching out into larger multi-family and hotels.  

Would love to talk sometime, thanks for the post

Hey @Brock Laramee,

When was the last time that you went to your mailbox and actually paid attention to anything unless it was a bill or a handwritten letter?  You might glance at the front and back of an advertisement for all of 3 seconds, but other than a personal letter you aren't going to look at anything else.

My point is, a direct mailing campaign is severely dated.  Yes, you might come across a select few people who will take the time to sit down and read your mailing, but a large majority of people will throw it in the trash before reading your headline.  

I suggest finding more personal approaches to meeting potential clients.  "Back door" approaches such as setting up a booth at a trade show or flea market (yes a flea market, laugh if you want but it really does work extremely well) will get you much more exposure, and exposure that is actually meaningful to your clients rather than a piece of paper in the mail.
