It's kind of like fishing in an area where there are fewer fishermen - you'll probably catch more fish...

Teaching someone to fish is easy.

When one of your prospects calls you, and you realize that they are just fishing for a market value offer, do you cross them off the list or do you continue mailing to them as well?

Just closed on a deal Friday with a seller that cussed out me and my partner on multiple occasions, called randomly late at night while she was drunk to call us criminals, tried to sell the house to another investor while we were under contract and then at closing brought a fishing license as her form of ID.And just like you I'm going to sell the property and put an easy $10k in my pocket.

I am just now trying to figure things out but potentially I would like to flip some homes and I would like to broaden my RE portfolio to hold some properties long term and live off (or save or use the cash to continue investing it all depends on my 9-5 situation) of the cash flow so that I can hopefully retire early.

That's like fishing in an area of the lake where 20 other fishermen have their lines in the water.

OTOH, handing them a real estate portfolio to manage, learn the business and grow, will teach them to fish. start early and by the time they are ready to take over, they will not only be able to pick up where you left off, but start with an excellent acumen for business, finance, and economics which would server them in any profession they choose.Of course this is all predicated on suppositions.

This discussion is to broaden the understanding of what all possibilities are.Now on the topic of setting aside office space, who would set aside half their house to write the bills to PM a propert?

Can you broaden your area and send 2k letters to get more of a response?

Thank you and expecting your response.I don't think the State Attorney is too worried about your direct mail, they certainly have bigger fish to fry.
