@Chris Seveney is much better informed about the current state of note sales than I am since 80% of my business is originating high yield notes and only 20% is the purchase of existing notes.  

I’d look into historic appreciation data for the area before making a decision.

. - Is this a reasonable stance for the original PM to take?

Out of the 20 letters I've sent, I've had 1 guy get back to me and we were in discussions but weren't able to find a price that worked for the both of us.The issue is that I only have a few houses on my mailing list so far (just places I've walked or driven by that caught my attention), and blindly searching every street and address # to see which houses are actually legal multifamily will take forever and doesn't seem efficient.I know the data is publicly available, I just don't know how to aggregate it in a way that would be efficient and useful for blasting out marketing mailers.Are there any websites that can pull massive lists of all multifamily houses in my area?

After that, I would encourage you to go to your county recorders office / court to request data yourself.

Some tools myself and others have used: - Skip tracing- Mailers- Data aggregators like PropStream, PropertyShark, etc. 

The property is a full rehab, possibly more, and originally had restrictions from Freddie Mac requiring buyers to live in the home for at least a year, so I initially passed on it.

Originally posted by Patrick K:I agree as well, however I HATE my email client for my website and love using gmail, but I would never send an email from anything but my company account.If I could find a email client that is close to gmail or somehow mirror my company email account through gmail I would be a happy man.Gmail definetly has the ability to send/receive POP3 email from other domains.

And I think I've ruled out my original option #1, which was to sink all the proceeds from sale of my current house into next primary residence in Southern California.
