After getting bids you may find that you can only afford to use sweat equity and this can be a burden on your social and family life.Good luck!!

When deserving folks let me know they will be late due to not being able to work temporarily I give them a social services list.  

Ex: Credit score 625 or above.Income 2 to 3 times the rentJob verificaton current paycheck for last 4 weeks.Occupancy,, limit occupancy in unit / house ,, the total number of people can't exceed that number.Criminal,, no felonies..Valid Social Security NumberNo CosignersRental verification from previous landlord.No prior evictionsSample list.. separate application for all people in apartment,, combined income must equal the 2 to 3 times the rent.. 

Marg is on Social Security and is living with care.Kat pays Marg in Cash, in order not to jepordize the elderly womans (Marg's) SS.The FHA will not accept this, as they want to see proof of rent paid, but the sellers do not want the rent coming in as it could jeopardize their mothers (M) SocialS.The elderly woman owns the house outright and is quite flexible when it comes to payments and allowing my friend to possibly stay another 6 months in order to satisfy the FHA, but is at that point where she would like to get her estate in order for her will and would not be able to carry financing for a long period.

Social media is great, but talking to people face to face is also still effective.  

Business cards, websites, social media presence:  these are all simply marketing

All local news outlets covered the opening, I did a mailing campaign, social media ads, etc.  

Little bit of "social reverse engineering" got me to her bail bondsman, who wanted to get paid, and we got it done.  

I have an applicant that only has social security coming in and said they recently sold their home and have money in the bank.  

Putting aside the fact I would never mail a yellow letter because of my model, you can do better than sending a mail piece since you are spending considerable energy building the list.Sign up with BeenVerified or Intellius to find phone numbers, e-mails, social media pages.
