Here are a few of the things that we did:- Redefined objectives: Cash flow is still our overall objective, but with houses selling so quickly in the Houston area we decided rehabbing & flipping is the best short-term strategy for us to build up cash to be used on future multi-family properties.- Marketing Plan: We will be sending absentee mailers out every 4 weeks for 7 months.

I used to do a lot of cold calls from a freight broking job so I have some sales experience.

Really good stuff and definitely got me thinking about redefining my REI strategy.
