I'll add one more example.I get a great deal on a property and secure it for 60% ARV.  2 years later there is a melt down and that property has dropped 50% in value and now I'm in the hole 10%, if I buy a 2nd property at this point (all things being equal) I only need a 25% gain to be back to where I was on an equity basis.IMO this concept makes sense if you are a buy and hold investor in acquisition mode.  

what do you guys think of contacting someone on BP or even running an add on craigslist and paying say $50 for example to do a video drive by?

See if the land it sits on gives you room to add one more bed and bath increasing the sq ft and footprint.

For a couple weeks I placed a new add only after the old one had expired.  

I certainly would never add on a “admin fee” as my transaction coordinator, broker, office, etc. is my responsibility and not that of my clients.

My goal is to add one more this year, educator (in the form of problem solving training for agents and investors).My goal includes helping other investors become successful in their real estate endeavors by using my own personal experiences to help investors mitigate risk, handle problems, and navigate the often turbulent process of real estate investing.

Hi William,I used Mojo specifically because I wanted to use their reverse phone number search which is an add-on service after have sign up for their dialer, you can't just sign up for the reverse phone number search.  

Maybe post a test add on Craigslist/Zillow in the areas you are looking to rent to see if there is interest.

I was also thinking it must be difficult to work with older structures with pier support ....to add on a second and third floor....what I have noticed is outward expansion, where houses are bumped out and consume the backyard .  

The house will be rent ready on the first of April so I put my first add on Zillow and Craigslist yesterday.
