@Dawn Anastasi  you crack me up.... on the 300k deals we do routinely we put more than the cheap houses cost into the rehab..

Everyone also tells me they routinely receive direct mail from dozens of other investors.So I'm thinking, why not mail to owner occupied properties?

TurboTax or other tools may be able to fill out the forms for you, but as soon as you wander away from a basic routine you're much more on your own for knowing what to put where.

If you're going the umbrella insurance route, make sure it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).

Instead of:Potential tenants must be okay with a small, routine application which features a background check, employment/income verification and credit check.

I routinely track my offers so I can follow up on my analysis and numbers when my bid is not accepted, just to see if I was off or not.  

Many people have such a busy routine to where they don’t have time to pick up the phone.

Wholesaling isn't a beginning... it is a SKILL...Thats why wholesalers that I train routinely make more money than you do...

I routinely hop on the phone and talk with a few people in my local area that have sent out a considerable amount of marketing and have picked their brains on what works versus what doesn't here in the Bay.

As an investor, as you are trying to grow and share, and in my experience, the bad form that occurs so routinely on forum sites just doesn't exist when you meet other investors face to face.
