Post: Direct Mail Strategy to an Affluent Area

If they aren't motivated than nothing you say or write will allow you to buy that house at a discount.  

Were the "we buy ugly houses" guys and all of our marketing targets home values within the median of an area since thats where you can sell homes the quickest.  Outside of that median your going to have problems.

Is it possible to buy in affluent areas, sure it is, but I wouldn't focus entirely on making that a business model since opportunities are going to be sporadic and the people that call are just going to wast your time wanting market price or more.

Want to reiterate what @Robert Ellis said and say the answer to that question depends on your risk tolerance.  Real Estate is a highly speculative investment, but with that has significant returns!

You will have opinions on both sides of the spectrum and ultimately I don’t feel your going to get an answer that’s going to guide you in one way or another.

I’d advise to look at potential worst case scenario and decide if in that situation you would have made a different decision.

This industry is all about managing the downside and have a plan for what happens when that comes, since it’s enivitable.

You will never loose money on an investment you don’t make, but on the other hand will never create the life you want if you don’t take action!  Which part of that sentence speaks to you more?

Just trying to give both sides!  Good luck!

Yes! “We Buy Ugly Houses”, it’s our trademarked Brand!!  Unfortunately we don’t buy Ugly non-performing notes!  maybe should look into a trademark on that as well, but it doesn’t roll of the toungue as nicely!

I’m a franchise of HomeVestors of America, Inc the “We Buy Ugly Houses “ guys.  Obviously that is RE Investment based, but many other HomeVestors franchisees diversify their business with other opportunities like Great Clips, Liberty Tax Prep, etc.

I’ve actually been on the look To add something in lately, so this topic was appropriate.  Wife says stay away from food service, thoughts?
