We still have all the original builder grade Magic Chef (low end Maytag) appliances in our own kitchen from when our house was built in 1986.

If you’re standing in a long line somewhere and it’s taking forever to get through, look at the person behind you and say, “I always seem to choose the slowest line,†or if you have a full basket, say “I only came in for one item.†These kinds of icebreakers are magical in getting others to be willing to talk to you.

I am willing to bet that when you send out your mailer, the receiver will receive 7 more from others.Do you really think you making your mailer purple, will make you magically different/better?

I know everyone says to stick it out for at least that, and that the "magic" happens in the 4th, 5th, 6th mailings.  

Do you use magic stamps?

Whats the magic? 

It's like anything else, it's not a magic wand and you have to put in the work to make the leads work out because your phone WILL ring!

@Eric Adobo I didn't know that if I drove for 15,000 miles, I magically get a real estate deal lol thanks for the heads up

(ask anyone under the age of 29 how often they go to the P.O.)Lear more about social media content marketing and watch the magic happen. 

You can sell with owner financing and increase your profits that way.3.True, it’s not completely passive, you do have to send out mail and do some research and communicate with buyers and sellers.Probably not as much work as flipping houses though.4.Competition – yes, but much less than in SFR.I get tons of postcards from people trying to buy my rentals.So far no one has told me they have other offers on their land5.Risk- yes, but you can start with small properties until you are more comfortable and experienced.On my first mailing I limited the mail to properties under 13k in value.6.High Volume – you can or you could do fewer high dollar deals its up to you7.No Tax benefits – you are right this is flipping not investing.The same can be said for flipping houses or wholesaling.8.I don’t have any idea if this is the best model……Actually for me the best income model would be to have enough money to put it all in a index or REIT fund and just live off the dividends.There's nothing magical about it.
