If you do get a call they will tell you they get letters/cards all the time.

How to win friends and influence people, Dale Carnegie. 

I’ve looked at a few properties down in BLOOMINGTON/NORMAL , but didn’t end up winning the bids.

I won with the SCLB and it looks like I will win in court. 

ROI vs ROE- Which one should win?

That deal we are bullishly looking at and will likely win the contract.

I have no debt and a credit score of 686 (Was a 740 but due to fraud on a store cards it was maxed out which effect my score).

When I got my license I was essentially broke (recently divorced and had to sell it all), but I got a box of business cards and I just started talking and handing it out whenever someone might need my phone number - whether or not they needed my services.That being said, what I have learned since late 2015 being in the trenches, I believed I never could have learned otherwise.

Training and learning expenses related to real estate as a whole such as subscription to BiggerPockets, books you purchase that you're studying to learn for real estate, failed deal expenses, business cards, and more.Hope that helps and good luck!

You will not always win with a higher offer...it's the person that they feel can close.
