I haven't done direct mail myself but I would imagine the marketing on the front of the letter would play a huge role.  I would also make sure it looked attractive to whomever your select audience would be and I would personally send 1000+ minimum.  The more the merrier as far as I see it.  Good luck!

@Ross Sims  Awesome man well I hope it's something that can be done!  Hopefully we can both find some loopholes to accomplish it and get a couple properties relatively quickly!  Good luck in the future man!  Charleston is a beautiful spot is that where you are hoping to buy?

As I have said in previous posts I want to focus on larger commercial properties. However I still want to start off with one 4plex to house hack. I was wondering if you can BRRRR with a 203K loan. I would like to get into my first 4plex with a 203K loan, and then I was wondering if I can cash out refinance....and then take that money, and open an FHA loan to get to a second property relatively quickly? I just don't know if I can legally live outside the property after the refi since a 203k loan is an owner occupied? I also didn't know if I can open a second owner occupied loan (FHA) after the REFI since you can only have one of those loans at a time. If this strategy is legal I'd like to get two 4plexes this year and then start saving aggressively to get into 16+ unit apartments within the next 3 years. Thanks to everyone in advanced!

I have a website I want created to help me and my future real estate business.  I don't like mediocre products and am in search of the best of the best.  This will be an incredible opportunity to whomever is the best applicant.  I look forward to doing business with whomever you may be.

I've decided 100% now.  At the absolute max I will only buy one 4plex (only to house hack and get my foot in the door).  After I get that running smoothly and efficiently I want to start looking at 16 unit minimum apartment complexes.  Once in a while I find a deal or two on craigslist but I was wondering how else you find deals for commercial apartments when you are just starting out?

@Steve Bracero thanks, I'll check that one out too, the more the merrier!  Podcasts are great too I always forget about podcasts.

@Sara Eastler Thanks so much I will put that one on my list as well!  I definitely plan on reaching out to other local investors soon too.  Job shadowing and hands on experience must be immeasurable knowledge that can't be taught through words in a book.  I always learn best by doing and by shadowing people so hopefully this late spring and early summer I can find some hot shot investors in the area and start picking their brains and helping them out along the way.  And thanks so much for the book recommendation I don't mind the more textbook style books, I'm after knowledge not stories.  It is nice to have a big stack of books to look forward to...long steams on the boat can seem much shorter and much more productive with a good book to pick apart.  Good luck investing and thanks for the recommendation!

 Well I hope your search for some good deals comes through swiftly and easily!  If I was in your area I'd love to try and help and learn alongside you so good luck!  Love those questions you asked for the @Chris Tracy book.  Actually made me think of one more question: As a young kid with no experience or capital, how do you make yourself stand out and make sure people know you are the real deal and to take you seriously?

Thanks so much.

 I mean I would love to just jump right in but I'd rather know the ins and outs and make sure I know every question to ask when I start the process and also how to answer every question I'll be asked.  Gotta spend time sharpening the axe if you wanna save time cutting down the tree right?

 Thanks so much, you've given me enough information here to keep me busy studying for a couple months by the looks!  Looks like I'll be done with the radio when I'm driving for quite some time!
