Here, in order to file a lien as a sub, or a supplier (not in direct contract with the owner) you must file an official NoticeTo Owner, notifying them that you Are working on their job and will have lien rights.  

Just need help in directing our sails.

Currently working FT in a corporate job indirectly related to law.

Could you point out where to find more information on how to target people in direct mail campaigns?

The biggest hurdle in direct mail is to get them to open the envelope, and then it is a whole other hurdle to get them to call you.

It gets indirectly passed along anyway since it effects the price you pay for the condo and that they will pay for the rental and its amenities.

No Mike not reallyMost of the houses offer "by owner" are retial flips offer by investor/rehabbers looking for a retail buyer or they are "dummy ads" or shills from wholesalers looking to build a Buyers List.Nothing wrong with that but thats what the Hell it is.As a practical matter I ve considered hiring a real estate assistant or intern to do the looking for meIts kind of like looking for a needle in the haystackI think my time and money i0s better invested in direct mail,but keep in touch and let me know how u doDD

I think you're being a little to smart on the numbers. as Josh mentioned indirectly, the most important thing is to find out how far you can make your money bounce and your ROI.Personal example, I bought a house for 100k, dropped 15k in renovations, and did a cash out refinance of 150k.

Absolutely but most will require increased armament and security for rent collection in direct relation to your cash flow vs. down payment requirements
