I do quarterly inspection reports for mine, but rarely do owners take any action on the recommendations.

John Thedford,Actually I'd rather owe the IRS than owe on a credit card. http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/Interest-Rates-Remain-the-Same-for-the-First-Quarter-of-2013Where they get you is the penalties!

There probably are, might be a quarter mile away but there are.

While you didn't direct that to me....Yes you could, I wouldn't make it so obvious setting the rate to IRS minimum, and it fluctuates quarterly I believe..... 1% above as a margin as an adjustable annual rate is more believable IMO.There is no problem with a note and an annual payment, even interest only annually, the easiest way.

Also, they should allow you another unit, as most areas of the country now have a policy of allowing in law quarters, but they have different policies regarding them.

Expired listings from the MLS may yield you about a quarter to a third of the contacts in some sale arrangement, try to hit them up as they expire and don't go through an agent.

The letters work just as well without all the hassle.Then I fold the letters into quarters and they fit perfectly into a white or ivory A2 invitation style envelope, (size 4 3/8 x 5 3/4), that you can pick up at Staples or Office Depot.I never use a printer to print the recipients address.

The fourth way is hand holding you through the process.
