Post: 1.4 Acre lot saved from tax sale and sold on terms

Investment Info:

Other other investment.

Purchase price: $500
Cash invested: $1,123
Sale price: $25,500

A seller got behind on taxes for this 1.4 acre parcel in Colleton County and it was sold at auction. A day before the redemption period was up, we paid the $1,123.34 tax debt and fees and bought the property from the seller for $500. We relisted the property and secured a buyer willing to put $2500 down and pay $25,500 over the course of 5 years at 7.2% interest. We now have a monthly recurring revenue of $437.71 for 5 years and the buyer has a solid investment.

Post: Non QM/Creative Lenders Out There Licensed in SC?

Hey all!

I am a realtor with a few years experience, but I recently moved to South Carolina. As of today, I have about a year's worth of 1099 history locally in the RE space. According to most lenders I have spoken with, I have good enough income and credit to buy a home, but not enough history. Anyone out there in the non QM space that is willing to discuss my situation and see if there is a creative avenue to make it work? I actually have a specific home in mind that has been sitting for a bit that I would like to offer on. Open to chat with anyone creative and reputable. Shoot me a DM.

Thank you!

Post: "Do not mail"?

Hey all, question for you. 

I recently pulled and cleaned a list to direct mail that I really liked.. Great topography and congruent pricing. However, when I went to clean the list, I noticed that every lead was marked "do not mail". This seemed strange so I looked at my other lists and found that generally, only 1-2/1000 is marked "do not mail". So.. wondering.. 1. Do you all mail do not mails? Is it a mater of morality or legality? 2. Have you ever seen a county, city, or zip as a whole prohibit mailing? Any insight is helpful. 

Thank you!
