I recently spent some time with my mentor stuffing marketing letters into envelopes and the way he does it is very clever.

The reason for the threat was that I had accused his girlfriend of stuffing a piece of spray foam back in the hole I had cut it out of weeks earlier, after they had complained it was blocking the gas shut-off for the stove. why they were concerned about the shut-off cannot be explained other than looking for something to harass me with.

On the other hand, it's not unusual any more to see attached and unattached housing stuffed anywhere they can fit in Portland so you may find buyers for each property individually just as well.

The house would probably be considered a hoarder house because it was stuffed full of things everywhere.  

@Raul Ocampo I have never had a formal mentor, so I cannot answer based on experience although I imagine like any deal, contractor, or product: there are good ones and bad ones.Another alternative is if you can find someone on BP that's doing what you want to do in your area then speak to them and offer them your expertise (marketing, accounting, sales, construction, even envelope stuffing) in exchange for them mentoring.

My first 100 letters (doing them in waves as that is what my capacity can handle) I did through Printing letters via Word and stuffing envelopes. 

And when my wife and I door knock, I often see stacks of other mailers/letters from other agents and investors still hanging from their door or stuffed in their mailbox.That said, it is a tough market.

Whether it's cold calling yourself, printing and stuffing letters yourself, or doing word of mouth networking.I live in Los Angeles as well so you if ever want to meet up just shoot me a message.  

The IRS has no way of knowing that you paid a contractor vs went to the strip club and stuffed in all in somebody's thong.I always have mixed thoughts on these types of questions, so I will answer this in two ways.CPA AdviceStop doing this.  

@Ray - My campaign was printed on resume paper sent in greeting card envelopes that were hand addressed and stamped by my friend.I paid my friend $1 per envelope stuffed, $30 for the paper and envelopes, and $50 for regular first class postage stamps.
