That's really cool. Glad it worked out so well for you guys.

@Breanne A.  welcome to Bigger Pockets. Sounds like both of you are very busy. If you like, I love for you both to be my guest at the next North San Diego Real Estate Investors Association (www.nsdrei.org) meeting. We always have great speakers and there are more than 100+ investors in attendance that might have the type of property for sale that you are looking for. If you'd like to attend let me know and I'll put you on our guest list.

Our next meeting is tonight... short notice I know, and we meet every month on the third Tuesday. There's never any high pitch selling like some clubs are known to have. Again take care and welcome.

Thank you @Lynn Currie. This is a great thread to follow. 

@David Tankersley, I've been investing in the San Diego and Inland Empire for the past 7+ years doing flips and a few wholesales. I've almost exclusively gotten my leads from my own mail campaigns. That changed last year. I only did two campaigns and did not get any deals from either one and they were big campaigns. We did get calls, but nothing evolved into a viable deal. That was the first time that had happened to me.

To combat that I'm returning to my own letters. I've used the yellow letter and the postcards, but as I said that didn't get me anywhere last year. I'm going to re-reading the marketing books written by Dan Kennedy and fine tune a letter I used a few years back. As was mentioned by @Jeremy T., we need to stand out from the crowd. Best of luck to you.

@Chris Wood, Mobile Home University sells a book called 30 Days Of Due Diligence. If you bought that all of your questions would be answered plus you'd have guide on what to do during your escrow period.

Look for a turn around mobile home park @Kevin Boyd. With that much you can probably find a good park. I've been searching for one for a few months. They are out there.

Welcome to the site and it appears your question has been answered correctly. See you around the site.

The North San Diego Real Estate Investors Association (@NSDREI) would like to invite you to our monthly meeting on January 20, 2015 at the El Camino Country Club, Oceanside, Ca.

Very nice work. We used the same tile in the bathrooms of our last three remodels. It gives a very sophisticated appearance.

@John McLaughlin  you may have seen the most appreciation from the rental you have. If you sold and did a 1031 exchange could you buy a duplex or four-plex in Carlsbad or Encinitas for about $1mm that would continue to appreciate in value and grow even more?
