- I've heard on these same podcasts that they start out by doing a postcard/letter to purchase.

There are very experience REI VAs on Upwork, but you still need to guide them and systematize their process so it actually works.I send out postcards.

If they are in a pickle, chances are they've got a stack of postcards on their counter from wholesalers, if you don't build rapport, they'll call the next one on the stack. 

Example of pg. 290 MLS You will pay your agent a commission when it is rented Talk to your agent about how it‘s done in your area as well as pricing Existing Tenants If you already own several units, send your tenants a postcard of the property and offer them a cash reward if they get someone to rent Accepting Phone CallsPre-screen the tenant before showing them the house Their gross income must be >3x The monthly rent The credit score of 600 or more Source of income and provide proof of income Good references from previous landlords Number of occupants less than 2 per bedroom (Washington law) Only non-smokersShowing the Property to TenantsTo avoid no-shows, use these techniques: Give the address to drive by, then tell them to call back if they want to see the inside Batch the meetup time with other tenants, Friday from 5-5:30.

Also, I've been sending out postcards through DealMachine and it's just too expensive.

I can't tell you how many times I've walked in a property and saw a stack of letters and postcards sitting on the counter.

Making it not possible to send a postcard to buy it The house has great potential and could be a great scenario.

You could send postcards or just pick up the phone and call them.

My plan is to purchase a property that needs renos to force the appreciation that way.I'm looking for examples of post-cards that I could use to drop in mailboxes in the neighbourhoods I'm interested in.

Sometime in the Fall we receive a postcard with the property tax amount.
