If each of my contractors charged me $500 every time they pulled a permit, I'd have spent probably close to a quarter million dollars for contractor pulling permits over the past 8 years.Considering a typical permit costs about $50 and takes about 20 minutes of time (let's call it 60 minutes if you add in the extra driving time), that's means I should be paying no more than $100 to have a permit pulled -- the $50 for the permit and then up to about $50 for the contractor's time. 

All of which drives down prices and forces good PMC's to cut corners to stay in business.

I'm sure that some of the sites work and will drive some results, but I would be very curious to see a breakdown of a personal reach out system to large hospital networks, local companies HR, etc. 

We'll also be taking a drive through Wyoming visiting a couple of different areas (Cheyenne, Casper, Riverton) that interest us there as well. 

Everyone needs a role and lane to drive in.

The problem is that when rates do come down, all of these people are going to be ready to buy as well and this may drive the price of real estate up.

Factoring in the time and efforts (driving, mailers, cold calls etc) to find "off-market" deals are you really saving? 

@Gary Kumar as you drive around this area, are there not shuttered/abandoned restaurants or bars? 

My tax professional read the IRS regulations and examined case law.

I am not planning on driving the routes - would need to have a manager & dispatcher while having trucks and drivers actually drive the routes and deliver packages.The businesses seem to be quite strong cash-flow-wise but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to get into this business.Would appreciate any feedback on this.Thanks.
