And even though I held out it goes retroactively to almost 800 old posts.I have gotten alerts to things in the PRO forum and Marketplace before that I wanted to comment on so I'll like being able to do that.Like others have said I get a lot out of this site and it is about the same cost as a REIA membership and I think I get as much out of this, and I certainly use this a LOT more.

It is going to cost a lot, but I may have to increase my mailings in bulk loads all at once.

Which we do, but we are counting it as every call we make and every house we research is another chance to learn more.)So that is the dilemma, and until we find a better method for such a low cost as well, then we will keep trudging through the "Number you called is no longer in service"s and the "I don't know what property that is you are talking about but it ain't mine"s until we hit gold.We are also going to purchase ~50 bandit signs to place around winchester in hopes that we get some calls with interest in selling their house, as opposed to trying to shoot fish in a barrel blindfolded as we are right now.Thank you for reading, hopefully this perspective provided some value to some who are also considering the cheapest way of getting into REI, and if you have any tips or tricks I'm all ears.

Then we'd simply explain what we found and adjust our offer.On the repair estimate - as an alternative, you could make your repair cost a variable applied to the number of square feet in the house - e.g. $10 x #Sq.FeetSome people will freak out when you send them a prepared contract to purchase their home.  

Now, though this seems like a very low rate of response, they do have the advantage of being mostly quality calls.Yellow letters, on the other hand, cost a bit more for production cost, seeing as they require an envelope as well.

You can outsource something that looks like a personal letter for almost the same cost as an 5.5"x11" jumbo postcard.

I have heard of importing labor from Costa Rica for some construction and remodeling gigs.

Sure you can do the work, but trips to home depot cost a lot of money.
