Hi BP community-I'm starting out, marketing to a list of 600 absentee owners with 50% equity in properties, and wanted to try something a bit different than the traditional yellow letter/postcard approach.So, I've sent postcards with nothing but a web address written.

There is so much free info on the web, especially here at BP (more legit than some), so I would start there and then go from there.Good luck!

It looks like you have a couple of years to learn as much as possible from the best RE resource on the web.

I bet if you ran all of his mail through the paper shredder, and claimed that you "never saw it", he would change the address and the problem would fix itself.

Double your net worth is the safest bet that way if they try to sue you for future earnings you will be in a much better position.

It seems to me that Johnson County would be your best bet if you are looking for the benefits of appreciation to go along with good cash flow.

I think part of it comes from people not knowing what renovation work really costs, they see the prices at Home Depot on stuff and think, "oh they repainted the place and a gallon of paint is less than $20 (the cheap paint, not the paint I buy) I bet that cost them $1000 at most to repaint the interior!"

My spread sheet says with a 30yr mortgage I would bet $210 a month and 15 year would be like $110.

He was changing jobs recently, I bet he has gotten busy with that.

Anything you ever want to learn, I bet you can find a lot of good books written by very accomplished people in any field.
