I will post how the next few days pan out with the old list, and what the second campaign brings in.

I did get a property under contract up in Seattle area and I am working with a BP member on that one, so we will see how it pans out.

@James Ritter   its a west coast history item.. but think of the gold rush's in the mid 1800's in CA and other western states.. who made the money.. it was not the miners it was those that supplied the pots and pans... :)And it think whats happening is a trend .. one you have so Much information on TV about getting rich in RE.. you have this phenom called BP with its 350k readers and the next thing you know you have all sorts of folks who think RE is the way to get rich easily and quickly and then they start reading ..

@Frank Iglesias  and the marketing companies that sell all these newbies the materials to try to get into wholesale love it.. remember its was the one's who sold the pots and pans to the gold miners that made the millions...

If I don't find a better way, I'm going to take my returned letters and trash them (I'm just too ADD) - but I know there's gold in these, just need to be patient and pan for it!

I tell them I don't care about the holes in the walls, the porn dungeon or the kitchen piled high with dirty pots and pans...

You skipped the frying pan and jumped straight into the fire.

My forehead is still bleeding from hitting it against the wall.3 months into a new lease, tenant starts a kitchen fire (unattended frying pan), and I kindly move her into a vacant unit while I fix hers.

Obviously we do not want C or D class properties because those do not pan out well longterm.2) It's hard to get both cashflow and appreciation, and so focusing on the outer skirts of Charlotte will yield the best results for both worlds. 3) A lot of it depends on the financing too, so working with a broker who can show you options for financing will help as well.
