I just had a recent applicant ask for her application materials back- paystubs, application, and all.People usually don't do this, and I don't know what they're trying to accomplish.As landlords and property managers, to CYA, we are supposed to keep copies of the rejected application materials for several years, and applicants should know this.I will ask this particular applicant to send me a self addressed stamped envelope and handling fee for photocopies, and I will send them back a photocopy of the application stuff.

There's deals to be done there and money to be made, but if you're unfamiliar with the market you can lose your shirt (and your copper) quick!

houses to me (even my personal) are like shirts. if it looks good on me, i wear it. if not, i toss it away.

This site offers a 100% handwritten letter, mail to and return address, and hand-places stamps inside a #10 envelope.

I like the method of canvasing an area and then getting results that way before I start sending out money on lists and postcards and stamps without really doing a little area first to see if the campaign is worth your time.
