Over the course of the last half decade, through diligent investing, I have compiled an investment portfolio with a conservative appraisal of $2 Million+ with leverage at about $350,000.

We've compiled and vetted a list of duplexes (about 75) that meet all our criteria and which we'd consider being occupant-owners of.Planned next step is to send them letters stating who we are, what we're trying to do, and letting them know we'd be interested if they'd like to sell.Any experience or suggestions for how to format (handwrite vs typed, etc) and what points to highlight?

Actually, it is Zerohedge.com that compiles and integrates the information.

I would drive through different neighborhoods on my way to work compiling a list of distressed properties that I intended to try and track down the owners and while I was doing that someone contacted me with a house that they wanted to sell.The property needs roughly 15 - 20k in repairs but once done the property should have about 50k in equity.I am trying a mix between the house hack and the brrrr on this one.I am purchasing the property as a primary residence and will live in it as I make the repairs.

I'll just look at prices from now on and just hope that I pick a good market to invest in Seriously, what would you do with all that data you would be compiling, and what decisions would you make from them? 

I'm not sure, but if not perhaps the community could help compile the list of the books with the number of times they'd been recommended via Github! 

I've been compiling some off market properties on the west side of town.

Hi Everyone,@Joseph Ammar , of course with all the research I've compiled on this subject alone, you know I had to chime in on this post!

I hope this helps.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10944/74960-hi...Depending on your area counties, there may or may not be good reporting on the loan information to allow a compiler to calculate the LTV.
