@Brandon Foken I have been heads down doing RE Wholesaling and marketing for sometime now and finally came up with a way to almost fully automate marketing letters, was an investment up front for hardware, software, materials, etc (approx 25k by end of this year), but worth it for me, and have been able to help some of my RE wholesaler and investor friends in the local San Diego area.

Does anyone have any creative ideas regarding materials and/or construction techniques to avoid the plain vanilla vinyl skirting?

I just got my materials for my yellow letters in so I'll be sending my first batch out soon.

Rich Weese,No he MUST spend at least 750 in the real estate trade or business.Real Estate Professional In A NutshellBeginning in 1994, a real estate professional may treat rental real estate activities as non-passive if the taxpayer materially participates in the rental activities.[2] The material participation requirement applies separately to each rental activity (unless the taxpayer made a timely election to group all his rentals as a single activity).

You may think finding a deal is worth 50%, I disagree, I can get a Realtor to find deals for 6% all day long.I can also get a CG, with experience and a good track record to do the construction at 15-20% over materials and labor.

There is no deflation in cost of materials.

Once you find out what you want to do then look for reading material that follows your strategy.

We're hiring a programmer to segregate our current contracts/coaching material from a potential standalone user's info.

Combine this with the fact that developing countries are driving up prices on building materials, and we have a formula for continued appreciation.
