It is a HUGE bummer as an agent to write up an offer to go to a junk property (happened to me last week) to end up pulling out.

Generally they are not rolled into the loan, and it's more the level of fees (say the percentage) they charge rather than any "junk" fees or costs.

Their "guarantees" are total junk.

Yes you can buy stuff over the counter however as said most of it will be junk.

Don’t forget about direct mail campaigns as well.

I am thinking of getting a list of leads and using the owner info to mail postcards or letters to find small multi family.

How affective are physical mail cards with deal machine?

Mail does work however it must get read and more importantly it must have interaction.
