It's already 11 days since the live event and here's where I stand in my progress: - found 2 realtors to partner with in locating properties on the MLS - got my website up (almost complete) and i WILL RANK for all the major keywords so i'll be pulling leads like crazy - started my buyers list and have a good 6, I can text if I have questions on a potential property that might fit their buying criteria - made around 10 calls to for sale by owner ads on craigslist (to get over the fear of not knowing what to say) - connected online the live event group and made some live calls with a couple of them listening, then evaluating the call with feedback after each call - got my phone number and voicemail set up - ordered and sent out my first mail piece to a targeted list - have compiled a Vacant and Ugly House list of 55 addresses by driving around my neighborhood when running errands for the family :) lol - informally put together a team of 5 bird dogs who have all sent me vacant properties they came across - putting together my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th list to mail to this month (I've mailing to high equity non-owner occupied properties in cities close to me) and because I've got my postcard designed already, all I need to do is pull the list, upload it, and bam it goes out :) - I'm going to (1) record a video of how I pull the list (2) how I clean up the export (3) upload the export to the mailing site (click2mail) and upload the postcard jpeg (4) so I can make this task a duty for my VA - I've also ordered a set of Sticky Notes to give to my bird dogs so they can simply stick and go (I'll be able to stick and go as well when I see something) - started working with another wholesaler/investor on co-wholesaling and doing deals together...we've analyzed 1 deal together unfortunately the owner (who went directly to him) wasn't super motivated and was a savvy homeowner himself ....

My advice is to start a folder and put all pics of anything you like in finish level and start compiling your own style. 

Delinquent and defaulted tax lists are some of the easiest data to purchase or compile yourself. 

I checked listsource and they were not able to do it for me.How do you guys go about compiling a mailing list of owners of 2-4 unit buildings in specific counties, I am happy to pay if someone can recommend a service provider. 

They offer a "tenant score" which compiles all of their information into an easy-to-understand ranking of their rentability. 

Right now, the rough plan is to educate myself as much as possible over the next 8-20 months by catching up on the podcasts (currently on episode 100), reading a pretty good list of real estate books I've compiled from Famous Four recommendations and from friends, and surfing these forums.

Compile data, reports and testimony on the prevalence of short-term rentals in Arizona and individual communities;2.

They handle the messy work, such as compiling extensive inventories of damaged appliances, furniture and decorations, and also act as liaisons between the insured, which in this case would be you, the real estate agent, and the insurance company.

What should you look for when compiling your list?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to create/compile this information?
