The American standard of living is declining and poorer people don’t buy homes, especially when jobs are concentrated in expensive areas and NIMBYism prevents any low cost housing from being built near the jobs. 

@Steven Darrow Some lenders will offer less restrictive rules against single entity concentration if the untits being sold are lowering the single entity concentration.

There are many risks to being geographically and type concentrated.  

If it's not softening enough to peel off, use a slightly more concentrated solution than recommended.

--do the numbers and concentrate in certain price range homes --where you have enough profit margin and many hoems -- called farming -- then spend more money more effectively in that area -- Do not cut bandit signs in half- have a Website --with auto responder and landing page -- use google voice with answering --script --screen callers --get only motivated sellers -- direct mailing letters and post cards --hire students at $5 per hour to make phone calls - FSBOs -- and research Criags list -- place ad on Craig list, local Sundays paper - community papers and Penny Savers papers --You are buying a Business and Freedom with lot of income -- you pay like Franchise Fee for Subway or Mail Box etc --so $ 5000 or $ 10,000 is not too much --if you have time and willing to work full time 60 hours a week until you Flip two deals --then let other employee do all work -- I assume --you said you are only Marketing for Motivated Sellers --meaning you have lots of Cash to buy your self and do rehab or Flip ?

Yes --Jason --I understand you are in West Cobb area --I have seen in Gwinnett and Dekalb --houses with ARV of $100k to $120K with $40k plus profit --One deal Isaw last week in Deklab had $84Kequity --but was sold when I approached --of course that does not include lot of costs we are taking about --still --If I assume expenses of $30K and I take $10K my fee --still there is $44K profit --- I am trying to concentrate some upscale --$500K up where equity may be over $150K -and less rehab required.

I have never seen or heard of the usual HML doing a blanket loan on say more than three properties as the loan amounts are usually higher than can be justified with the concentration of loans in one area.

Welcome to BP Kim.A 1,000 rentals wow you are ambitious I'll say but you want to concentrate on getting that 1st deal done.

So the plan is to hire out the work and concentrate on creating a machine like operation.

However, assuming that I would concentrate on the expired listings and surprisingly the contingents.
