I think it’s a fair approach, so I feel pretty confident about including it.Thanks again for your insights, Abel, and all the best to you!

I get pretty good returns and I have had very good luck with tenants with solid screening and income threshold minimums.

I will hire some landscaping on occasion, high tree work,  it just depends, things run pretty smoothly for the most part. 

I have heard of a lot of scams with note buyers, just like pretty much everything else.

It seems these wholesaler deals are pretty good (probably too good!) 

I remember a presenter in a real estate class recently saying, 'Buyers are liars, and sellers are even worse,' which got a good laugh from everyone because it rings pretty true in this business.

Another thing I didn't mention but should have is that its VERY hard to create enough forced appreciation with a rehab when you use FHA because the property needs to be in pretty good condition to qualify for an FHA loan to begin with. 

That's a pretty common practice in my area. 

. $50,000 times 15 acres equals $750,000.You give that $750k development right to an agency, and It is treated as if you gave $750k to the Red Cross.It's a huge deduction.Depending on your tax bracket, that tax deduction could be worth several hundred thousand dollars to you.It's a pretty big deal.

The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.
