There are few places like it you can hit up a major city, hunt, fish, dive or just relax in the tropics all within maybe an hour drive.

It's a lot like fishing.

(I googled and found a few, but often those sites are great at SEO - I'm looking for the good info, not the easy to find info)I realize I could pay someone to do the direct mail stuff for me, but I'm a fan of the teach a man to fish style of thinking.

It's kind of like fishing in an area where there are fewer fishermen - you'll probably catch more fish...

Teaching someone to fish is easy.

When one of your prospects calls you, and you realize that they are just fishing for a market value offer, do you cross them off the list or do you continue mailing to them as well?

Just closed on a deal Friday with a seller that cussed out me and my partner on multiple occasions, called randomly late at night while she was drunk to call us criminals, tried to sell the house to another investor while we were under contract and then at closing brought a fishing license as her form of ID.And just like you I'm going to sell the property and put an easy $10k in my pocket.

That's like fishing in an area of the lake where 20 other fishermen have their lines in the water.

OTOH, handing them a real estate portfolio to manage, learn the business and grow, will teach them to fish. start early and by the time they are ready to take over, they will not only be able to pick up where you left off, but start with an excellent acumen for business, finance, and economics which would server them in any profession they choose.Of course this is all predicated on suppositions.

Thank you and expecting your response.I don't think the State Attorney is too worried about your direct mail, they certainly have bigger fish to fry.
