What do you mean by draftsman? CAD?

I recently wrote a blog post on my website that covers the proposed changes in the new Tax Bill and how they could affect homeowners in Texas.

I know we haven't been introduced to the final version yet , but I'm curious if any of you have looked into how the new bill might affect you and the people in your circle...

I have a GREAT off market deal in a hot area near the west loop. Zoned to Bellaire schools.

Has flood damage that needs to be repaired. Has never flooded before!!

PM me if interested.

It was about 8". That specific neighborhood hasn't flooded before. We talked with several long-time owners in the area.

Great flip/rental investment zoned to some of the best schools in Houston! 

Recent appliance upgrade, attic insultation, HVAC ducting, A/C unit.  Needs carpet and clean! Easy flip.

This house received slight damage in the recent flood, however, the Owner has already repaired all damage except for installing the new carpet. This home has never flooded in any of the previous events.

House is in a great area and zoned to some of the best schools in Houston. Pre-flood prices in the area were easily upward of 400K. Current ARV should be atleast 360K+ conservatively.

Easiest flip you'll find in the area. House is under contract, ready to close today. Seller requires 2 months to pack and find a new home.

ARV - 360K+

Repairs - 5K (carpet)

Upgrades - 20K-30K (optional)

Price - 297.5K

Potential Profit - 27.5K - 57.5K+

It's running about $1 for the list and mailing materials (including postage) combined. So realistically I guess that isn't a whole lot per letter but I was expecting somewhere around maybe .50-.60c/letter

Hi all, I'm just about to start my first yellow letter marketing campaign and I'm realizing just how expensive that can be. 

Does anyone have any good sources or tips for cutting down on the costs?
