I'd like to level up in terms of my price points for my next batch 

We just sent out our first batch of yellow letters to absentee owners that i hand wrote, basically saying " we noticed you have a house at 123 Main street, if you would consider selling please call us, we pay cash".

As I am sure you know, the Banks sell off their notes in multi-million dollar batches to  accredited purchasers.

If this new batch of inventory comes on the scene, will prices retract again?

I'll be sure to fix it up for the next batch :)  These ones will hopefully go before the ink dries ;)

At some point many years down the road, I would like to be able to share my knowledge with the next batch of "new investors."

Then they would dump the next batch of houses to unsuspecting buyers, using falsified documentation for their income.

You will also avoid the landlord issue.If you can make $25k for a batch of puppies, you just have to 4x your biz and you would have a sizeable income. 

Start telling everyone you know what youre looking to buy and where.For getting property info and owner info:- Propstream- Deal MachineTools for calling and getting info:- Batch Leads- Mojo Dialer- Call RailIn terms of finding LLC info, check your local municipalities DBR and do a database search for the LLC.

The spread is their profit (a bunch of MLOs went to become F&I guys when the 2013 batch of mortgage regulations came out that they couldn't handle).In your case, given the numbers you presented, I'd suggest you think like a smarmy used car lot F&I guy, and go get a HELOC or cash out refinance on whatever you can.
