We are one-of-a-kind in that we are super strict about spam, which helps us stand out :) Sometimes people get upset with us because we remove a lot of posts, but it's so worth it because it's pure value and content - no pitches!

There are e-mail companies like e-blast and mail chimp etc. that used to have databases of agents for an area.You can purchase the lists but these days servers block you as spam sending out volume.

Otherwise it may be unsolicited advertising, which is a violation of our "no PM spam" rules.

That was after a complete remodel (all new carpet, paint, etc.) and two boxes of the bug bombs.If you don't spend the time/money up front to tackle the problem it will keep coming back and will cost you a lot more in the long run (multiple extra treatments, tenant loss, vacancy, possible lawsuit, etc.).

If they do not vacate by March 1st then you are given that money and move forward with eviction - or pay them to move, or however you want to tackle it.Just another strategy that you might want to explore..

If so was it successful or did you just get a bunch of scams/spam?

I really like that the show is tackling higher-level issues now.After the podcast I got excited about tax in Colorado and did some research - the going rate is 10% on liens, and they're being bid down to 9-9.5%.

I guess what I would like to know is...what's the best way to tackle this and maximize borrowing power.

As a newbie I probably wouldn't have tackled this project.As is, you are looking at about a 5.5 cap rate.
