stay persistant.

I love hearing stories like this, I admire your persistence!

There's opportunity there although you have to be consistent and persistent.

This site and community are worth their weights in gold.Since joining BP I can attest to the fact that my REI knowledge and skills have increased tremendously, coupled with the fact that I am being interactive with like minded individuals who are focused and excited about the success of others.BP and its community are here to stay and will continue to be a model for others to emulate.It clearly shows that persistence, hard work and dedication can certainly bear fruit in the building and expansion of a purpose driven platform without spam and other distractions.320,000 members and counting are a testament to the demand for an active and serious community driven REI site.Great job @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner, as well as the rest of the supporting team and of course the BP community!

In college I did door-to-door sales for two summers and learned a lot about persistence, dealing with rejection, and working with people.

I admire your persistent effort of learning and I know you will soon get your first deal!

Don't be in a rush and do a bad deal, but keep persisting and moving forward. 

Median Price: $525,000 +7.14% Yoy - 7ish % isn't unusual, I have multiple ~7% moves since 2016.Sales: 5,344, -10.06% - normal number for September, 2020 was unusually high due to delayed purchases from Covid thus the yoy lossYTD sales: 41,238, +8.36% - highest Sept read I have, houses are selling.Inventory: 5,875, +6.16% - still too low compared to pre-Covid, see stacked chart.New Listings: 6,366, -10.61% - still too low compared to pre-Covid, see stacked chart.YTD New listings: 51,949, -2.47% - prior to Covid we were running 60k+ houses.Months Supply: 1.2, -14.29% - persistently low indicating an unrelenting sellers market, see the Existing homes as a % of households chart, continues to shrink.Cumulative days on Market: 26, -44% - persistently low indicating an unrelenting sellers market

@Brendan Winans was relentless and matched my persistence, and I could not have connected with a better local agent that understood investors looking for the deal. 1 tenant got evicted during escrow, so in the 2 weeks following closing I was able to get a signed lease and received security deposit and rent for market rate.

I personally have a small printed letter with a professional look to it, I handwrite the owner's name, address, and signature and mail them in a colorful envelope.Whatever you choose to do, as it's been said many times; be consistent and persistent.
