Last time I checked, their pricing (for the large 2-sided full-color PC) was still pretty competitive:Postcard printing .14 (for 7 DAY turnaround)Processing for mailing .07 ($175 fee divided by 2,500 pieces)Standard postage .28-------------------------------------------------------------------.49 per piece total (Does not include mailing list)So, that's comparing old-school static printing to the new-tech variable printing (apples to oranges comparison), but you get the idea.P.S.

If you're seeing more price points that are higher than the norm typically it means that either the market is shifting gradually up or that there's multiple people involved in that deal "chain" before it gets to you and everyone is adding their markup.My advice would be to attend a few local meetups to brush shoulders with other investors to pick their brain about whats working in your market AND to start marketing direct to sellers instead of trying to get the deals from wholesalers. 

I would brush up on terms and negotiating since you will be doing it yourself especially if you want the price your home is worth.

My advice is to not only look at the statics, but also think about what will separate your property from the rest in the area you choose.

My name is Mo, I'm a broker and investor in NYC and end up working with a lot of househackers/multi-fam investors since I'm one myself :) I recommend looking up meetups that are happening near you as those are a great way to brush shoulders with others that are active in your area.

If you pay cash, that money could be stuck there for years until you sale but you will have some costs of property tax, brush clearing and insurance.2.

The tax rate is pretty static.

I'm sorry you had a difficult time with the one title claim you had to file but please don't paint with such a broad brush with such a limited experience. 

Hey @Bailey Brown - I recommend attending a local meetup about REI (not a seminar) as that's where you'll get to brush shoulders with other investors and players in the RE space in your region.
