In my opinion, mailers are more of a branding tool and best when coupled with some other way to expose your name to a small area.

From redfin link, it stated that tenant will pay cable, electricity, gas/propane so i left those values blank.- Vacancy (5%), Repairs/Maintenance (5%), Cap Ex(10%) , Prop mangment (10%)- Annual growth (1%), Annual PV growth (1%), Annual Expense growth (1%), Sales Expenses (9%)Do you have any advice on how I can gather more accurate numbers? 

We want to expose our kids (and ourselves) to the world.

I had local propane company do mine for $300.

I'm in a similar boat to you in that I've been exposed to the world of real estate through my occupation and am now trying to leverage that knowledge in pursuing my own investments (I'm currently in contract to purchase my first duplex in the east bay set to close later this month).

I do not require a buyers agreement which allows you to work with other agents in the area and expose you to other deals I cannot come across.

Much of it is just plain wrong and exposes their followers to all sorts of legal problems for heeding their bad advice.Just yesterday, another BPer asked about starting up a property management business and pointed me to a website that insists that property managers need no real estate license in MA.I spent a few minutes of searching and came up with a link to MA state law that says there are only three exception - the property owner, a salaried employee of the property owner and a hotel reservation worker. 

Make adjustments that you anticipate they will not object to -- say 5-10%.Secondly stagger the changes (say 1/2 this month and the other 1/2 in two months) so that you don't expose yourself to mass move-outs.

(never stop negotiating - ask for buyer incentives - the furniture, car in garage, money back at settlement, possession - delayed settlement - subject to existing financing - offer a hybrid arrangement, financing secured by other property, no interest mortgage - split note financing - re-fi for take over/assumption)Always consider second stage negotiations for price reduction (give good reasons - exposed repairs after inspection - other issues found)Use safety contingent clauses in the event 3rd party assignee is not locatedSince you are doing your due diligence this target building - you should look for expired listing in the area and make offers on them also.

Im currently interning at an accounting firm and was just recently exposed to corporate and partnership tax returns.
