Hello all,

So I read "The Book on Flipping Houses" book by J. Scott. It was a great read, learned a lot of good information. My question is its still increasingly difficult to find  deals. I have send out yellow notes (handwritten) to over 1000 homeowners, and done 2-3 runs on each with different notes. Nothing has worked yet. I have had a few discussion, but from my experience everyone thinks their property is worth a lot more than it really is. I know 1000 may not be a lot. I should probably buy and send out to many more homeowers, and I also read that you should send out letters to each person about 5 times. Any other advise? I have also tried to put out signs on the road.

Have I just given up too early with the yellow notes?

Hello! I am a new member to the site. I am 27 years old and currently own 4 duplexes in low income areas and one townhome. And will be closing on a quadplex at the end of the month that will bring total rental units to 13.

I started investing in real estate one year ago when I was 26, and have a partner that goes in 50-50 with me on deals. Up until now, I have purchased all cash, but would like to start leveraging. I have also bought and read "The Book on Flipping Houses" by J. Scott of Bigger Pockets, which I loved. But found it increasingly difficult to find any flips in today's economy.

I look forward to meeting and throwing around ideas with fellow investors.
