I may be completely off-base regarding this, but I have read that a 400-600 sq. ft variation (200-300 below and above the subject property) is recommended.Best of luck to you.

I'm really interested in seeing this case come to trial and what kind of evidence the SEC has against Goldman.

With that, what are you attempting to do, as to design variations, materials, functionality and the relationship to other properties in a development?

I'm glad to answer any questions you may have, and they offer a free 14 day trial to get your feet wet a little.

Historically real estate investing does not produce an income to live on until you have built up a lot of equity.Some buy, fix, sell or other variations.

In terms of what software is out there to help...It is difficult because many of them are complex and expensive, I would recommend trying one with a free trial period that allows you full use of the product without having to yet fully commit or spend.

Of the other 60%, about half get sold to a retail buyer and we collect a small referral fee and the other half end up getting foreclosed on.So, the math gets a bit more complex than just responses and conversions.I'm guessing that you'd also likely find different profit levels from these two example groups above (absentee owners and short sale candidates), not to mention variation based on location, types of property, amount of rehab, exit strategy, etc.And that doesn't even touch on the other target groups you might mail to (homeowners with equity, NOD, purchasing redemption rights, etc).So, yes, using statistical averages to determine how many letters to send and how much you should expect to make from a particular mailing (or set of mailings) is a great thing.

Since the second price is higher, you have some money left over after paying off the original seller.There are lots of variations and some other ways to do this.
