Most of these guys have stacks of mail that they're SO TIRED of getting.

So the past 2 months I have focused on the direct mail route and stopped looking at the MLS (and I am an MLS junkie so it's hard, but I am so tired of highest and best)…so the plan is to get enough leads coming in through the direct mail that I can cherry pick the awesome, wholesale the rest, and live the dream (or at least that’s the plan).

But I'm getting tired and my mind is winding down . . .  

I got tired of the maximize my ROI rat race long ago.  

well one tip is in the northwest you can go to Les Schwab tires they fix any flat for free they just ask you consider them for your next tire purchase.this is a very fine line.. as I have been in the industry 40 some years now and have mingled with the very wealthy and of course those just starting out and or our laborers that just came in from Mexico.we all have our thing.. before they perforated paper towels in half I would tear mine in half.However my Dad was a little like this workaholic until one day our attorney told him he needs to stop and smell the roses.. that led to him buying a Time share in Maui way back in the late 60S when Maui was really cool.. and you only used it certain weeks so he bought the 2 weeks of thanksgiving and one after.. so for many years that's were we went.. he had to he owned it.I for one am not going to hoard and go through the pearly gates with a boat load of cash.

Sellers who don't want a parade of tire-kickers marching through their house.6.

You get good deals on properties when you can take problems away from tired sellers.I think we had those tenants for roughly 4 or 5 months.

To search, I've a link off of my profile to a short instructional PDF I wrote up (I got tired of explaining it) about how to search the commercial site www.LoopNet.com (which is the Zillow for commercial properties; 4units are commonlyconsidered commercial). 

So the point: enjoy your slum-druglording, however expect a lot more grief if you do not consider the neighbors, the community, and the tenacity of neighbors tired of being treated without respect to fund another person's little RE empire and cash flow.

Everyone who uses the tired cliche that tenants pay the rent should try to call their bank when the house is vacant and try to explain that when the mortgage payment is due!
