BryanEverything you said it so true but i was just thinking now that everyone has a computer and printer and that people might not turn a way from a printed letter or even one with a graphic.

They want a printer. 

I plan to go to the library on my off days for a couple hours just to read these books to keep the motivation.Also I just set up my GV number and voicemail, made up a simply voicemail for all the direct mail saying Hey you reached john if your calling regarding your house please leave your name number property address thanks have a good day..I am waiting on my printer to be shipped but have a list of 330 names still I am going to begin handwriting these envelopes today while I wait for my printer to come in..

Some more things to consider:If you plan to get your RE license, expect to pay monthly fees to your broker, as well as annual fees to the MLS and potentially your local board of realtors.If you plan to rehab, you're going to want some basic tools (even if you hire contractors to do the work).If you plan to network, have money set aside to take investors to lunch.If you plan to do a lot of deals, you probably want to set up a corporate entity and ensure that you have liability insurance.If you plan to get your license, you'll need a fax machine and dedicated fax line or a fax service to send and receive offers.If you plan to get your license, budget for printer ink (it's expensive, and this business is currently tough to take paperless).

I already have a printer/copier/scanner with no fax, and I have a cordless phone.

I've check with the commercial printers/mailers in town and they are unbelievably expensive, since I'm only doing 1000-2000 pieces at a time.

“Dual use items†like printers, faxes, phone, etc. can all become business expensesPassive loss limits, dealer issues, etc. necessitate setting up more than one entity from my understanding.

All it took was some paper, a printer, & some stamps :) LOTS of info, and many smart people there willing to help out ...

@Jake KnightYears ago (2002) I lived right near you (Cambrian area of SJ) .... and ran a construction company in Dublin.I bought a Konica Minolta BIZHUB photocopier, printer for what you're talking about.
