It even has a "laser"...

Real Estate is a blast, even when I pull my hair out over renters or contractors, it's a ton of fun.See ya around the site!

That may be a hair faster to find the case numbers and PR's, but unfortunately, I still have to go to the court house and get the addresses.Thanks for looking out though. 

Rich Weese please tell your wife I'm heartbroken :(Your hair was the first thing I mentioned when I got back home and was asked how it went.

I am also a Great Clips franchisee and employee hair stylists.  

Some of them have an integrated laser pointer, which shows you the center of the area it is measuring, but the total area will be a circle centered on that red dot.

But, it's a good thing I am a "nerd", because my interest in machines and buttons, and what makes things tick saved me thousands of dollars in the long run)This business is a business of people management, evictions, damages, court scenes, proving you are right in court, and having the proof and evidence to back up what you say.With that in mind, and me being my own attorney in court, I found the following useful "Technology" that enabled me to never lose a case in my 13 years as a landlord.The following is what Technology did for me, that helped me in all phases of this business.QuickBooks:  Kept track of all my tenantsKept track of all RepairsWhat tenants owedHow much each tenant paid in Security DepositsWhen I purchased a rentalHow much it costHow many square feetWhen I sold itFor how muchProfit and Loss Report to see where I stood financiallyHow much money I owed to my VendorsAnd everything I wanted to know about my tenantsNextI had Vonage Phone (An internet phone) that did the followingActed as an Answering ServiceKept track of the date and time the call came inCould view the call in audio and in written form on my computerCould print out the message and take it to court with meKept track of the date and time I called someone Allowing me to print this out as well if I needed it for courtNextStamps.comThis kept track of every piece of mail I mailed outThe day and timeThe person I sent it tooAllowed me to print out a report if I had to take it to court for evidence; And it served as a proof of sendingNextPrinterComputer/laptop (in my case if it had keys or a laser pen, I had it. 

So I just wanted to share my findings:Prices per piece at 2500pcs seems to be about even among national print companiesNational print companies include design fees, locals do not and charge $75+ an hour with expected costs around $150-250Fiverr.com is full of excellent graphic designs who can design business cards, post cards, logos etc for $5-$50In order to print the addresses correctly the post card will have to be of a paper type that works with my printer, aka laser toner paper matte (not glossy)Whenever I have printed post cards in the past it has been a lot of work to get the spacing right, I end up throwing away 10-50 until I figure it outBecause the post card is small there tends to be 'angling' issues with my printer and sometimes the text comes out at 10-20 degree angleIt might be better to print on labels instead of the post card directlyNational companies will often pay/provide a list for you, locals do not and charge $35 or moreYou can get free lists from your local title companies since most (mine do) have access to county records.

And then there are other side strip malls that have things like the independent hair salon, dry cleaner, maybe a non-name-brand food place, knick-knack shop, etc.
