Real estate investing is forgiving; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.

Hi @Joshua Manier,**I'm not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned**Your strong financial profile and low LTV puts you in a great position!

Does anyone have a good effective 3rd party mailing company to send mailers direct to seller?

The mold remediation companies should have the skills to identify the source, suggest a solution, and give you a bid with a guarantee of their work.

(you need to differentiate when a Mark Spain type company is running radio ads to attract business for themselves from it actually helping you out)4) Our TEAM or BROKERAGE has sold "X" homes!

Next year we can see how accurate the forecast was.I personally would take properties in most of those cities over many midwest cities for a long term hold (10+ years). 

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

Another benefit is it is much easier to diversify into multiple markets, asset classes and operators.Just wanted to share an alternative - often active investing is the way to go, but it really depends on the person and it is important to know that there are passive ways to accomplish your financial goals.Good luck!

I would try to subscribe to Angies List to determine a suitable mortgage company.

If it crashes hard enough, it impacts your personal finances, your relationships, and even your mental/physical health.With the exceptions of politicians and so-called charities, building wealth typically requires sacrifice and time.
