A few thoughts: 1.) before investing, consume a TON of info.

How it works with us is a mobile home would be a consumer secured loan, the same as an auto loan.

Targeted is like sniper rifle with a scope- more responses from qualified sellers.EDDM is great for consumer products marketing but not for motivated R.E. sellers- a highly specialized niche or target group.

After all, they are enhancing your life as you are theirs.

I've been considering getting my real estate license (probably online) in order to enhance my real estate investment business.

We all know that overhead gets passed down to the end consumer, and the big problem I face J., is that I'm competing with Craigslist Hacks that have no continuing education, that have no licenses, that have no insurance, that don't have a trailer full of tools, and are working for $15 per hour.

i was the last person i know to get a cell phone, the last to get a smart phone, the last to sign up for facebook, twitter, linkedin...fortunately, i never did set up a myspace page.not that those aren't great inventions, but i don't like to have my life consumed by gadgets, gizmos, and social websites.with that said, i see the value of maximizing social media in the real estate investing business.

I would rather drop the price than add on or enhance the house any way.

Here is what we did but you may find it tough to find a GC who will work within these parameters & its time consuming but being retired it was just another experience for us.We also went with 2x6 because of the weather up here & it certainly paid off over the last winter.

I found cold calling works better, but it's more time consuming.
