Purchasing houses in OH is pretty standard, no state tax stamps mortgage fee from what I can remember.

Matt, I spoke with a company yesterday that said they do engineering in-house, and part of their package is coordinating with the customer's local building codes for the MEP, roofing, structural foundation, etc. and obtaining a (Colorado) engineering stamp.

There are set costs involved in a purchase transaction - appraisal, credit, title charges, recording fees, transfer stamp taxes.

All I typically have to do is print a letter, write the address on the index card, and address and stamp the envelopes.

I hand sign each letter and pay someone to fold, stuff and stamp.

Maybe try to find some investors in your area and see if they'll let you tag along to view some properties and take notes or bird dog wholesale deals or fold mailers or lick stamps or whatever you can to be around the business.

I suggest you take detailed photographs with time/date stamps of the electric panel and any other pertinent parts of the system.

Has anyone had success using precancelled stamps on direct mail.

You will have title search and closing fee costs from the title attorney/ title company and possibly a " sales tax" or "state tax stamps", its called different things in different states.

Last year, I manually printed and stamped 1000 property owners of a tax delinquent list and my paper kept getting jammed in the printer.
