Is there any good websites or apps? 

In my area there is a great landlord/tenant handbook on the county website that is a great resource, perhaps your area has something similar and I'd get super familiar with that.

Also understanding how things are put together, how siding works, gutters, etc (basically as many aspects of the home as possible)Having this knowledge will also help you from getting burned by contractors telling you things just so they can save time and money and deliver a crappy service. 

I would check out his website. 

website is www.federa.com   it looks like they sell foreclosed and pre-foreclosed properties? 

However, there are still some great opportunities within Charlotte that can deliver strong investment potential.

Vito - Have you checked to see if there is an I-card for the property on the HPD website? 

Originally posted by Patrick K:I agree as well, however I HATE my email client for my website and love using gmail, but I would never send an email from anything but my company account.If I could find a email client that is close to gmail or somehow mirror my company email account through gmail I would be a happy man.Gmail definetly has the ability to send/receive POP3 email from other domains.

Out of the 20 letters I've sent, I've had 1 guy get back to me and we were in discussions but weren't able to find a price that worked for the both of us.The issue is that I only have a few houses on my mailing list so far (just places I've walked or driven by that caught my attention), and blindly searching every street and address # to see which houses are actually legal multifamily will take forever and doesn't seem efficient.I know the data is publicly available, I just don't know how to aggregate it in a way that would be efficient and useful for blasting out marketing mailers.Are there any websites that can pull massive lists of all multifamily houses in my area?

I've posted on Craigslist, Facebook groups, HouseCashin, LinkedIn, 'buy my house for cash' websites, etc...Would love some feedback!
