Real estate is not a seasonal fruit.

I look forward to forging new alliances & helping one another build our brands, close deals and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

These lists are harder to get your hands on (in some areas anyway) but they are (IMO) much more fruitful.

When you plant a seed it does not just start bearing fruit.

The purpose of this post is to encourage you to find ways to recognize the fruits of your labor and to enjoy the benefits of your additional income from RE!

I hope that the right person will become part of my team eventually so I'd like to do the due diligence of weeding out the low hanging fruit before it becomes too late.

I don't think there are any GOOD - AFFORDABLE CONTRACTORS in Baltimore - if they are good - they are not affordable --- if they are affordable they are not usually good.I just finished a development on Charles Street at a cost of $1.1 MM - it should have cost $900,000 - contractors have a way of getting all the juice they can from a job - they are always finding something that the owner or they have missed.You might want to price out every stage of your renovation - heating - drywall - electrical etc. and learn to act as your own general - my son has been doing a  program called FreeHabbing - it is a professional approach that solves the two most common problems in real estate renovation: 1) where to get the money to acquire real estate, and 2) where to get the money to rehab. the property.A bad contractor can drain you bank account and demotivate you.

I hesitate to start a mailing campaign, maybe something as simple as driving for dollars would be more fruitful than what I have been doing.  

Once you have chatted with people several times the relationships can bear fruit.
