REIA's are great for entertainment and exposure to those selling dreams and stuff - but they will not move you forward fast enough.You give me the impression of being impatient and want to reach your financial goal - maybe before you even have them.I too know many of those 7 figure income people and own a unit in Manhattan and other states.Those 7 figure income people got where they are by making right decisions - they have the ability to see right through a novice and a bad or unprofitable deals and have the ability to dismiss an individual without mercy!

These lists, if you're interested in trying them, are:- 75-100% equity with owners over 50 years old- tax delinquent- code violation...particularly overgrown or junky, multiple/long standing issues (this is a time/energy intensive list for me, hopefully your city's site is more user friendly)- recent arrests (sent out Wednesday, believe it or not I've already gotten a call back)Good luck!

First investment purchase, first cancelling of contract, so unclear on the legal standing etc.I entered contract on a rental, and post inspection am cancelling my purchase based on findings of inspection.The listing agent who is the team leader for my buyers agent is requesting a copy of the inspection.  

Likely they will stay below 5% for the next 12 months and depending on the Presidential election and who gets elected, they could stay below 5% for considerably longer.Eventually in 4-8 years, they will be back to 6-6.5% which is where the financial system hums right along.  

Consult your financial and legal professional(s) - I'm neither.

Since you don't want to create the same list as everyone else, maybe look into creating unique mail pieces as well so you stand out from your competition.
