@Mohammed Rahman

thanks for replying.

my strategy would be ANYTHING that's valuable... an off-market smoking hot deal -- whether that's wholesale, sub2, seller fi, looking for development....i'll do whatever needs to be done... I'm just not sure what I'm looking for yet

Question For The NYC BP Fam:

I have solid direct marketing skills. 

I've written sales letters and emails that have directly generated millions of dollars in sales...

I don't mentioned any of this to brag...but rather to ask YOU:


Can I use these skills to find off-market deals in NYC?

I just moved here (Manhattan), so logically, I'd like to use my skills to find off-market deals...

And if I were in almost any other market...I'd go after single family houses (wholesale, wholetail, take-over sub2, seller finance, etc  -- I used to go on appointments with a "We Buy Houses" Franchisee back in the day)... 

But in NYC... I honestly have no idea what I'm looking at.  

Like... WTF is a co-op? 

Should I be looking into smaller multifamily units? 

Condos?

It seems the NYC real estate landscape is heavily regulated so flipping and assigning contracts (especially in such a competitive and well-priced market) would be an uphill battle...(although I honestly have no clue)...

...but maybe...just maybe... there are off-market deals to be had...and I just need a little more direction and clarity on what I'm looking for...

Your thoughts?

for my few Vegas properties I only get phone calls.. although I get 10 plus mailers PER day because of all my mid west and Baltimore stuff.. 

@Jay Hinrichs ... 10 per day... that's gotta be a BP record.

Thanks for the info!

If it figures in to your research. No mailers are opened, straight to recycling and all text sending numbers are blocked so those texts per day are new numbers only. 

ps. I am also starting to get an email every couple weeks from Zillow open door and offerpad. With “cash offers”. It is nice to see that number rising about $10,000 per email. (I keep them in my history for comparisons...)

@bill brandt 5-10 mailers per week... that's crazy!

Thanks for the info!

The other properties are in more desirable B+ areas receive no consistency in direct mail. Maybe 2 pieces ever other month. 

That's wild @Kurt Brauner...

Is that 12 postcards and yellow letters -- per property?

Thanks for the reply Jason.

The mailers -- is that for one property or multiple?

Quick question for you buy and hold investors...

How many "I want to buy your house" letters/postcards do you get each month?
