Think a little outside the box and look at small to medium size cities - these places need rentals, and they are usually off the main radar. 

I had never heard of that before and thought it was an interesting "outside the box" concept.I also did sort of a fundraiser/contest once where I offered my web development skills (a free website) as a prize for entry.  

Hi I am having a hard time finding realestate agents that think outside of the box as far as investing goes.

Hey Chris when you want to mention someone in a post type the '@' sign then wait until a box pops up below with their name and click on it.

Lenders are having to get creative these days and there are some unique loan products out there right now that I've never seen before that are keeping people in the buy box. 

I'm going to write a letter to the property owner letting them know my new mailing address (PO box this time), what colors I used on the house and throw the idea of buying it from her. 

Get comps by CraigsList, Zillow and mystery shopping at the big complexes. 

Replace panel boxes that are over 30 years old.  

If you want to make an impression go back in a week with a business card, an 'if you ever want to sell note' and a box of donuts. 

The other side is open.I have checked the mailbox for the open side several times and see that I am getting mail addressed to my name in that mail box.I have written "not at this address" on the mail and put it back in the box for the mail person to pickup but the mail continues to come.I am trying to play the role of 'property manager' instead of 'owner' to the tenants, per recommendations from several sources.
