@McKinley Crowley That strategy resonates with me.  I would love for you to send me some information on pricing if you can. 

Thanks,

Mike

Yes but how do attract those calls in the first place?  Signage or mail?

Hi All -  What type of mailing campaigns have you found to be successful lately?  Should it be a combination of post cards and letters?  Should it just be simply in stating that we'll buy your house for all cash with no hassles, fees, inspections, etc?  

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Mike

Post: Writing off real estate commission on your own deal?

Hi all -

Tax question.  If you are a licensed real estate agent and end up selling your own property, do you still get to write-off the real estate commission against your profit/loss on the sale?  

Hi - I'm on the board of a 42 unit condo building and we are looking for a smart solution to our outdated, hard-wired, intercom system.  

We prefer to keep it app based so that we can utilize our smart phones as opposed to going through a costly fixed video intercom monitor in each unit. 

In terms of functionality, we want video, audio and fob entry and possibly a key pad as well for delivery men, etc.  

An example of a system that we've seen on the market is the DoorBird IP Video Door Station D21DKH.  

https://www.affordableopeners.com/doorbird-ip-vide...

This system fits our criteria but we haven't been able to find any reviews on it so we are a bit skeptical and want to compare it to other options.  

Please let me know if you guys have any ideas.  

Thanks,

Mike
