From now on, if it's readable, it gets mailed.As for my recent progress, I had a few hiccups this month that slowed me down, but I did manage to send out some mailings.

In my market many of the 100K houses now have granite right along side the lower cost flooring (vinyl sheet or tile).

But I do believe there is sufficient inventory of REO's that one little hiccup in the news reports will send everyone running, and that we can easily create a double dip.

Hello it is me the newbie who is always looking for a way to get er done using innovation and creativity.a few months ago I posted that I took in two handymen/contractors as tenants the houses still needed some work and i offered a reduction in rent in exchange for their attention to these mattersI want to update you on the experience.in unit A the nicer of the two homes the contractor/tenantdid sand and stain the cabinets beautifully installed a chandelier and painted pretty much the whole house interior, no hitches or hiccups in house B the tenant performed 1/3 of the work began working with my personal contractor made a few grand on a couple of jobs and ended up breaking the lease and sneaking out in the middle of the night so to speak.lesson?

My focus in real estate is on multi-family properties located in Phoenix, Arizona and Bakersfield, California.I look forward to a bright future alongside the BiggerPockets community!

My question is is it easier or are there many advantages to say getting my license and doing a little work as an agent and a little wholesaling along side?

Or would you advise slowing down a bit to make sure there are no major hiccups as a young/inexperienced investor?

Maybe they'd let you invest alongside them on a deal, and teach you the business.

The biggest hiccup I have as I go is I don't necessarily know how to turn this into action and I'm not sure if most are doing their first few deals with a mentor to check things along the way or just go for it and hope for the best based on your personal education? 

Hi everyone,I have been cold calling to find off market deals and came across a hiccup, the "DON'T CALL LIST".
