Nestor  direct mail is a long game.. and as Ned mentions an expensive one if your going to be successful at it..

Highland is very nice, the wife and I (1 dog no kids yet) are working in Lehi so we're trying to stay as close as we can, but have looked as far south as N.

Now AS Ned knows I grew up in this business in CA and we bought hundreds of parcels each and every years .. so our title company would insure us day one after recording of the tax collector deed.for someone new or one off or not in the business title insurance is going to be something they want to ask about up front if a sale in a few years is what they want to accomplish or borrow money.the ONLY way a CA tax sale can be over turned is if the person who lost it can prove the county did not publish 21 consecutive days prior to the sale as is the law...

As Ned said, definitely set up some Keyword Alerts to help you stay connected and make some great friends.

To see your deal as a %, simply get your BAII out. enter 21k as the PV, enter 25K as the FV enter 1 as N and solve for i, and be amazed!

.#2 as @Ned Carey says I'd start with the book 16% solution. 

Use the site's search to find other folks from the Island or do as Ned suggested and set up a keyword alert for Long Island.Good luck!

@Daniel Ham as Ned said...on the surface that sounds OK.

Hi Sandra,As Ned said, it's not going to be "easy" on all rental properties but it is possible.

As for finding estate leads, as Ned said, you can pull them yourself for free by going to the courthouse.
