So it creates a real no money down deal.Since the investors that buy our homes are looking to hold for at least 3-5 years, and our price points are so low, they usually want to buy 5-10 property packages.

But I notice more and more these flyer boxs are usually empty or filled with flyers that are such in horrid shape from the elements that I wouldnt want to keep them.

I did 193 packages today.Envelopes where 9x12 and I had 3 pieces to include a two page letter and a 11x17 site plan that went out to all the brokers in my area.I was thinking man it would be nice if some kid came along to do this :)

No...there are labor costs in the tearoff (most physically demanding part of the job) and the upfront costs of the ordered shingles that are delivered on-site at your property in addition to dumpster rental that is charged at a higher rate because the weight of shingles only allow 1/2 a dumpster to be filled and the costs of laying down the tar paper immediately after the tearoff is complete as you can not just leave sheathing exposed to the elements while you wait for the next check.With 1/3 upfront, the truth is the contractor is out of pocket by day 2.

Submit a short sale package?

How do I put together a short sale package and contact the bank?

Mike:I know many are using commercial lenders to acquire REO packages; buying bulk properties, etc.I guess the question I would like to know is....can you get a commercial loan to acquire a single family property (one investment property)?

He said it accomplished two things... people generally opened the package because there was a "lump" in it, and it made owners laugh.Liens, abatements, etc are taken care of in escrow.

I've gotten a lot of work done there at a great price (even with the "premium" packages).

Sidney,You'll need to find a wholesaler that can provide a "total package" for the investor.
