Hello @Adam Zach,Interesting observation.

Now, all these things will eventually happen but it's only in looking back that there's any ability to observe the actual timing of events.

Absorb as much as you can, catch the bug and keep reading and observing.

You give us permission to discuss our observations with real estate agents, owners, repair persons, or other interested parties.

In essence no, I have not observed what you mentioned but I do respect your opinion.

From my observations looks like his rent price is slightly above whats going in the area. 

I am going to go to some real estate auctions and just observe to see the process and if it's possible to get a good deal that way as well.

If you are, I'd love the details.If it is just a showing of confidence; based on your experiences/observations, do you think they are as effective for sales agents as they are for individual investors?

As for mailing probates, I've never observed a postcard to pull, favoring campaign of letters in sequence, each with a timely theme that the reader would say"that's me" and motivates them to contact you whereby you convert (sell) them on the phone to take the next action step in your sales funnel.

The regulators and some states like California, Florida, and Ohio are stepping up their observations on craigslist and so forth.
