I say this to express my motivation and level of commitment to doing my best and really wanting to learn.With all that said, I come here because while I can always go to the Keller Williams and Coldwells of the world, considering I'm starting part time, I believe it may be better for me to start with a broker who has hopefully had some of that big outfit experience, but has a smaller operation so he/she can better nurture me and help me and ultimately their business to develop.

The real power will be in nurturing and maintaining that e-mail list -- you won't have something for everyone right away but eventually you might so if you stay in touch, continue to provide value, eventually, there will be a sale for you.

What I have since learned from BP and by managing my own rentals has put me in a much better position to buy smarter going forward.You're not going to get rich overnight, but over time, a small trickle of cash flow, if nurtured and built upon, can be turned into a significant source of wealth.A few dollars of cash flow here, a few hundred there, a few thousand there, it all adds up.

I would recommend aweber, and I recommend using autoresponders and broadcasters to nurture your leads.A note of caution is that you don't want to be too aggresive with your emailing (such as launching emails day and night in a spammish manner).If you have a buyers list, opt them into it by explaining that you can add them to your list of property updates so they have more options.

Now that 4 years have passed....I have paid over $140,000 in hmortgage payemtns and reduced principal less than $10,000; landscaped for hundreds and hundreds of hours planting/nurturing 96 bushes, hedges and trees; given my 8 year old granddaughter her "own room" as an anchor that she still needs through her parents' turbulent divorce, yet live like a pauper, and work and worry to illness and exhaustion, I just wonder what in the heck I could do to just have a half way decent quality of life, with a home, and some normalcy.

You are asking many, many questions that are strategic, not tactical.Divide you activities into:1) List building 2) List segmentation3) Lead generation4) Sales funnels5) Prospect nurturing 6) Negotiation7) Acquisition closing This may not be exactly the  model that you use however you will need to separate activities and understand where you are in the sales process at any given time.Regarding sales letters, I suggest only one way from them to respond, and that's by phone.

.😊 Nurture this lead.

I imagine it's a new channel that needs a lot of nurturing and marketing to make a dent. 

Just nurture your leads and you'll do fine. 

So far, I’m playing tag with 1 local wholesaler/investor, with a goal of nurturing that relationship.
