For example, if you want to buy single family ranges in a particular town, that narrows the search down and then you can move on onto step 3Step 3: Find contact info for every one of these people: cell phone, home phone, emails, social media profile, home address, etcStep 4: Put the information into a database: I like using a CRM like Follow Up Boss, but you can use an excel sheet to startStep 5: Market to these people: call(on a dialer), email, message on social media, door knock, mail, etc. until you get one on one appointments with themStep 6: Make offers that allow you enough room to make moneyEven as a brand new investor, you do not have to have money to do these deals.

This combined with the fact the insulation would be coming out of the two walls we needed to fix, reenforced the decision to insulate the entire main level with closed cell spray foam.Once the subfloor was up, we learned the unevenness of the slab was more so than anticipated; The stairs to the second floor were not hung properly - I'm amazed they never moved in the past 20 years.Since we were now into more than a full gut on the main floor {with the framing repairs}, a decision was made to "patch-up" the second floor, rather than gutting it as well, as an effort to reduce the newly forecasted spend.
