Back in 2008-12, I was a kid in a candy store getting stuff at well below build price, and rents were great.

They left gummy worm candy scattered all about the floor in several rooms, made a golf-ball sized indent in one of the walls, made almost a 2' scratch on another wall, and the icing on the cake was that one of them defecated right next to the back door. 

Just jazz it up with some visual candy like pictures, schedule plans, graphs.

What I did when I was your age and wanted to start building capital, was I went to Costco and spent about $200-230 in Christmas/birthday money on all the candy I could buy.

I stumbled across this site while researching real estate investing and have been consuming blog posts, podcasts, and forum posts like candy for the past week with my wife @Amy Bauer.

@McKinley Crowley is a 6 mailer campaign one that is spread out over a certain timeline?

Hey @Candy Marshall, you just have to let the seller know you work with other investors and you might not be the one to close on the contract when it's all said and done.

No, you can not take it with you, Yes your kids will sell all your boxes and blow it on candy.

The walls were black from hand prints, grease on the ceiling, gum and candy on the carpets, the cleaning company came 3 times to clean, doors screens broken, pool is broken, a tree fell and was laying on the ground, it cost me 7 k to turn it around...
