My involvement in BR has been limited as I only offer on larger deals there - apartments, mobile home parks, land developments, house packages, etc.

Currently in the process of closing on a package of SF homes and I wanted to ask whether a new Landlord needs to write a letter directly to the tenants or whether it is better to let the Property Manager inform them.

@Nancy Stark if you do it as a package you could finance it. probably a 5 or 10 year arm 30 year AM balloon type product which you will have to go back and negotiate after 5 or 10 years. if you have sufficient money to put down  w2 income will not matter. 

And how can I find other wholesalers in my area without paying for a membership for a package deal?

Bought it as a package deal and let go of the rest of the package because it wouldn't be financially smart.

We are looking at larger packages of properties, multi family, mixed use.

One guy gives a package price, you can have one from column a and two from column b for that price.. 

right now I am paying 40 to 60k for lumber packages on 2200 to 2700 sq ft homes. 

I can send in an e mail asking for a TRIO and get that back witin 30 minutes.. this will be a copy of the last recorded deed the plat map and the tax page.And then we can order developers packages which are big binders full of all sorts of detail .. utls  demographics  topo  agencies to contact all sorts of different maps etc.. all put together in a nice pretty binder for us.. this usually takes about 48 to 72 hours.. 

They have an Income Statement, a Tax Package (probably either of these would be what your accountant needs), and even a stress-test that will simulate your performance in a market downturn.
