I am focusing on one zip code at a time and sending out 20-30 yellow letters per week (sometimes more sometimes less depending on my time).Each week I start wherever I left off on the zip code tab and pick 20-30 names and mail merge them into MS Word.If I come across a highlighted investor lead I will look back at the Master List to see if I have already previously sent them a letter for one of their other properties and skip that lead if I have.If I have not sent the investor a letter yet, then I will send them a separate “investor yellow letter” and update the Master List with the date by one of their properties for future reference.Each zip code typically has 200-400 leads and I have purchased five zip codes so it will take me a while to hit them all (roughly 2000 leads total).Investor Tab: I haven’t done a lot with this yet but my thoughts are to copy all of the investor highlighted properties from the Master Tab into this tab.I could then export all of these properties and “pin” them in MapPoint.When I secure a “deal” to wholesale I can look for other investors who have properties close by to market to.Remove Tab: Anyone who calls me back and requests to be removed from my mailing list.I am only one person, working a full-time job, in graduate school, and I have a family so my time is limited.

Again, you may do better than others, but that area of WF can be challenging, and it will be easier to exit without a mortgage than with one should you chose to do so.Second, tenants in that area can be less predictable in terms of payment and turn over, so not having a mortgage can give you greater flexibility and security if a tenant skips out or is chronically late. 

Any store you need to go to is 5-10 min away.The community appears to be well kept.I typically see a lot more cars on the weekend so other hosts appear to be doing 2-3 night minimums.My one complaint so far is that trash pickup is suppose to be daily but occasionally they skip a day.

They would need to be torn down or converted into duplexes at best, after 3 hours with planning trying to hammer out the possibilities that’s what I walked away with, but at least I had the city on my side.I went back through and skipped the owners again and by chance and a long rabbit hole I managed to locate the daughter (who had been estranged) she was not easy to find and I really only happened upon her by sheer luck.

SO SOMEONE REACHED OUT TO ME IN MY EMAIL, SAID HE FOUND ME THROUGH SKIP TRACING AND SAID HE WAS A PRIVATE MONEY LENDER.

One solution is to hire a virtual assistant to skip trace that information for you.

However, one Texas CPA claims that there is.Today, one investor publicly posted (and then wisely removed) a quote from his CPA suggesting this hat trick: before writing any business checks in January 2023, skip a few.

Similar to apartments, there's a mid-range that the big players skip over. 

Once i locate owner names i skip trace the owner find their current address and phone number, I usually like to just give them a ring but often times ill follow the phone call up with a yellow letter or postcard if i cant get them on the phone.

Make sure you underwrite for higher vacancies and higher expenses as you will get a lot of skips, evictions, and property turnover.
