as discouraged as i was, i did get 3 calls last week from my first batch, none of them deals.

What is a concrete batching plant?

I have been to the county website that lists foreclosures and have sent one batch of letters to these homeowners.

Next, I will send a blast text to all those phone numbers, not exactly sure which SMS software is the best, most cost effective but I believe I heard Batch can do the job (input here would be lovely!)

In most cases your neighborhoods are likely tied closely to their batch routes and you can do a nice marketing piece at $.176 per piece not counting the cost of the collateral.Good luck!

If it's not a lot and you really are stuck repainting instead of doing touch-up, resolve to make absolutely sure that this next base coat you lay on is very thick and can be repeatedly washed, scrubbed, and touched up successfully over a period of 20-something years.To my mind with my purposely limited number of rentals and my handyman abilities to do the painting myself or supervise general laborers doing it, this is a smarter way to handle turning rentals between tenants than handing over repainting to a fresh batch of guys with mystery paint every few years.For interior wall paint, I tend to use Behr Marquee and Behr Ultra.

I cannot speak for other markets, but their current batch of Atlanta properties, the numbers just won't come close to working based on what they are asking. 

I like to use the factory pre-mixed colors because I find they are much more consistent between batches,available in flat and semi and the better quality stuff $116 for 5 gallons, vs the cheap stuff that's $60 that peels/fails more often.Good luck!

There has been a lot of controversy about US sites like prosper and the like. http://www.my-personal-finance-blog.com/2007/01/15/prosper-sells-off-first-batch-of-bad-debts/ I think it is an excellent concepts as long as there is a good way to screen the person you are lending too or a better way of vetting "borrowers".

. - I don't know much about the property at the moment, it was part of a large batch of multi-families that I was looking through.
