@Ao OkiiWelcome to Biggerpockets.

@Jamie FankhauserRichest man in Babylon-I found this at 28, I WISH I found it at 18 years of ageSet for Life (yes, the Scott Trench book)401(K)Aos by Andy TannerRich Dad Poor DadHow to Win Friends and Influence People

I made the offer to close at the appraisal price and they would finance the difference with a 5 yr interest-only note.It actually improves your COC Return because you end up putting less down for the same cash flow (lower purchase price & no down payment on their note).You most certainly should get an addendum to the AOS about it.  

I also had fun installing an AO Smith 240NI to replace the old 75 gallon HW tank, so that dropped the gas bill a lot more.

When you get an AO/probate that is just about the best you can get. 

Im marketing to AO's in my neighborhood.

You have 659 AO out of state prospects in your county so here is what I would do.Buy those 659 and add to them 341 in state AO for a total of 1000Alternate you mail piece between the large text PC,  the small text PC, zipletters and YellowLetters.Here is the breakdownList - Cost 220.00+- ( good for 6 months)Yellow Letter 1 - Cost 760.00 +- send month 1Large Text PC 5 color 1 side - Cost 500.00+- send month 2Small Text PC ( My new one) color 2 sides - Cost 450.00 +- send month 3Zip Letter 7 - Cost 730.00+- send month 4Small Text PC Mine - Cost 450.00 +- send month 5Large Text PC 5 -Cost 500.00Total Spend 3610.00Over your budget however by month 2 you should have a deal in the pipeline. 

I have a list of 1500 AO in Socal.

But yes, you could easily find AOs through the MLS system (and I think most have that search option).Sigh.

Send all out of state AOs first then send 50% owner ocs and 50% absentee.
