My poor fingers got tired of typing the same thing over and over, so I put my tips and tricks in a blog post.

I’m using a grant program through the state of Maryland to cover the down payment and fingers crossed the bank owned property will help with closing costs.

There was one space where the concrete is crumbling, and I can pick it apart with my fingers. 

(Fingers Crossed)An idea about the market in this area:  I gave our realtor 3 lists approx 10 houses each, all but 2 were not available. 

And if he likes you and he just wants to get rid of them just take them off his hands, offer him a good return (way above average considering your circumstances but definitely profitable enough where you can save for Maintenance and CapEx) and probably he will enjoy receiving a check every month without having to lift a finger. 

It would depend on the size of the estate how exactly it should be setup though.Alternatively, just buy a lot more malpractice insurance and cross your fingers nothing too crazy happens.

DMM is based on luckDMM does not filter motivationDMM has a less than 1%-3% open rateDMM's 1%-3% open rate includes people yelling at you cursing at you, demanding to remove them from your list etc. etc.DMM is expensive and ridiculously inefficientDMM requires you to invest extra capital for skip tracing and re sending the mailersHere are 3 marketing methods you need to invest in if you truly want to ensure you will become succesful and not rely on luck.Order of lead quality:1) SEO2) PPC3) FaceBook Ads.Again this is not a matter of opinion, this is fact.All these leads not only come to me without me having to lift a finger or pay a cent, they are completely motivated and I don't do any effort.

I was planning on renting out the 1st house, roughly $100 for tax, $50 for insurance, 10% for property maintenance and throwing in what's left over in reserve to put a new roof on it in 2 years and then sell it when the market (fingers crossed) is a little better and then buy a duplex for better income.My wife on the other hand wants to sell it and use the money towards a larger down payment on the other house to make the monthly payments less.

Good agent relations is a good thing, many have given me good investment leads and all they gave other investors was the finger, of course I made it worth their while.
