I mean their interior decorators do a great job, and I was thinking us investors can take advantage of that, copy those rooms with their products (wich are cheap!

Unfortunately, they no longer had interest in selling to me... and well I know that the competition is fierce out there, so Im wondering what is the best way to actually find homeowners and keep them.Is direct mail a waste of time?

At least in my area, its quite competitive.

The owner carry is a big advantage as you can get into the deal with very little down, but you should (in my opinion) look for a better price.Good Luck.

I don't want to be the kiss of death here, but 22 wins is amazing, however a championship it does not make.Unfortunately the WEST is so competitive, that if they just lose 4 in a row they have a chance of missing the playoffs even!

I see plenty of investment opportunities here and I would like to take advantage of this market.

What advantages are there to having a real estate license?

The real advantage of real estate is being able to leverage considerable amounts of unrealized equity, which creates and accelerates wealth.For example lets say you used that 45k to purchase 4 homes for 70k each but had market values of at least 100k each.

When that happens, there is an increase in the number of rentals on the market and therefore increased competition.

The advantage is that this is clean and easy and you're done with the transaction.
