Especially if you’re putting down 20% for an investment property you’ll be very hard pressed to find a deal that doesn’t need a lot of renovations for $75,000.

Cold Calls - I find this extremely draining and it comes out when I do call.

Plan your renovation timeline to list properties during peak buying months - also take into consideration that snow and rain will affect your rehab.Another way that you will want to take climate into account is  that given the cold winters, energy-efficient improvements like insulation and modern HVAC systems can be attractive to buyers.

When pressed further he gave me some vague comps, however "my" house in question is a 2bd/1ba and when I asked, most of his "comps" were 3bd/1.5ba and one was 4bd/2ba!

We are in Iowa (cold during winter), have a house and Teak plantation in Belize, our son and Brother both happen to be in Italy for the next few years.

That call is a) not really a cold call because they received my letter b) I'm not going for the hard sell...i'm just "following up".

Here's a quick video showing how I find the right areas, right propertiees, and start cold calling them like a sniper. https://www.loom.com/share/79170bf16882465e8fca26369a1fa1a7?...

I have asked the pressing question.

If the press again, just repeat.

This also means I don't have the bandwidth to cold call all day to gain traction.
