Stuff like that...It would probably be better if you didn't just leave them at a REIA meeting, but instead handed them to people who asked for one.And now, my own disclosure...not an attorney, don't play one on TV, my $0.02 (overvalued), YMMV, etc.

Waiting to buy a TV when you can pay cash.

Send enough targeted mail, and eventually you'll find a deal.With all the TV shows like Flip This House, Fixer Upper, My First Flip, etc. everybody and their momma thinks they can flip a home now, so you've got tons of rookies coming into the market and overpaying for properties too.

If you have an agent who is acting a Fiduciary Buyer's Broker for you, work with him to make offers on other listed properties, also, make it clear to your agent that you will pay him a commission on any unlisted property he finds for you; FSBO's, bank owned properties, leads from advertising, expired listings.It sounds like you are tripping over small change when you should be looking at the big numbers and the big dollars.You might want to have several Fiduciary Buyer's Broker (under contract) working for you.Want more leads, advertise on the radio, newspapers and TV.

Hey to All ...From my experience and result over the last few months and years looking for the right lenders have come to a conclusion here it is: There are two types of lenders the ones that provide funding on L-T-V meaning loan to values which don't include rehab cost due to the fact that the property as it stands must have appraisal high to purchase and will only lend on 65 to 60 percent of value.

We have success with 3 key marketing strategies:1) AdWords - set up an account with the right keywords and a good landing page2) Direct Mail to Absentee Owners with Equity3) Outdoor - billboards (static & electronic), other signage, wrapped cars, etc.We're also now running radio and TV advertising in a lot of our markets but that's not a strategy that I start with.  

. :)  its only late night TV that influences folks and BP that influences folks that they can get wealthy with NO money and NO credit.. 

All make sense now :)Reminds me of Sam Leccima of "Flip This House" Both of these guys had Radio or TV to help them seem like big wigs on the investing scene.

Maybe I watch too many TV shows, where they make it look like a great idea to convert.

They were both out and each light and each TV was on in the house.
