Any kind of giveaway, contest, etc that will help you capture your prospects / contacts information will be helpful.

Constant leads, my personal assistant, phone number, customized voicemail, they take all my incoming calls from my PPC/Capture pages and they call my lead lists for free in addition to including 10K leads every month.

Assume you break even on depreciation capture and property appreciation when you sell (again, this is D-class) and end up with $30K each cash in pocket.Over the course of 20 years, each property provided $48240 in cash flow and it paid itself off.

Should I be capturing any reno expenses that will be carried-over to 2017?  

It basically comes down to what the ARV or after repair value of the deal will be because if you're not adding much value  (IE your total "all in cost," (acquisiton + rehab) will not be at 80% or less LTV after you complete your rehab) then you should probably do a rehab bank loan like a 203k or a fannie mae home style (conventional variant of rehab home loans).The reason you do a HML (hard money loan) and then do a refinance out is because you needed the HML to capture equity or potential equity (IE a smokin deal!)

In what way would a new investor capture their depreciation or costs that are capable of being written off?

In this case I spent almost a year finding this deal (as with all deals I captured that year) by underwriting hundreds.

Looking to capture leads via calls coming in via cell phones or landline or websites or emails.

I like to capture my real estate investments immediately and would prefer to pay cash.In Chicago you can get a 2 flat for $500g in a great neighborhood on the n/w side.  

But maybe that is not the point.Put those babies on septics, with a community powered solar well, and a natural gas capture system on the septic tank for the gas appliances and you will be plenty green.Interesting.
