Sold mortgages in Seattle at the very height of the market (July '07) and now have moved on to selling enterprise data storage for a Fortune500 company in the San Francisco Bay area.

There may also be spin-off enterprises that will hire early-career professionals who will want a cut or two above graduate and certainly undergraduate rentals.

@Travis Houck some other mentions I know of from their deals I've actually seen and do a really good job, find good deals.Reed goossens (Wildhorn Capital)Chris Jackson/Krista Testani (Sharpline Equity)Josh Eitingon (DXE properties)Sonya Rocvil (Berry Rocvil Enterprises)Jake Stenziano/Gino Barbaro/Dylan Marma (Rand Partners)Omar Khan (Boardwalk Wealth)Sam Bates (Trinity Capital)Sapan Talati (Enzo Multifamily)If I remember some others I'll post them too.

As for landlords feeling screwed its a for profit private enterprise deal with it.. just like every other business deals with govmit regulations those that can succeed those that just whine and complain they just fade away.  

When I contacted them directly however, their 'enterprise' rep said they only handle 75 units and above. 

Naturally I'm of the mind that renters are free to move on to some other unit, and I'm totally for free market enterprise here, but it also sounds like you are blowing up the building all at once.

Maybe an enterprising GC could make their whole career out of giving out bids for money.

The key difference being wholesalers buy properties AS-IS and don're quire the sellers to make any repairs. 4) They are buying as a for profit enterprise, and thus have a vested interest to buy at the lowest sales price, to charge the highest fees, and to have the seller make as many repairs as possible.

@Paul Felix I'm impressed with your commitment to metrics and attempts to abstract better data to your response rates.Thanking the big picture view, you still don't know if the problem is the list, the mailer, the message, the timing or any combination thereof.I suggest you enter the direct repose marketing work of Dan Kennedy, Perry Marshall and others now that it appears you wish to be a serious marketer.I just returned from hosting my invitation only mastermind group in Santa Barbara where one of my members has been pulling several million names per month, covering all 3,043 US counties and reselling the data (it's a very big enterprise).
