I have been a landlord since 1982 and I have also flipped a fair numbers of homes over the years.A couple of years ago I discovered the "paper" side of the real estate investment world.

I am currently converting paper assets into hard assets (SFR's) for the long term investment as well as building passive cash-flow to exit my current career.Currently we are buying houses off the MLS as well as distressed properties (estate sale/pre-foreclosures) that fit our investment criteria.

I am not suggesting doing this for the roof but two ways to convert insoluble iron oxide( rust ) to a soluble form that is removed with a water rinse is to use either oxalic acid ( 5% solution on the rust for about 30 minutes( can wet towels so it adheres and does not run off) in water or a commercial product called "Iron Out" which is sodium hydrosulfide I think.

I send out between 5k-7k letters a month..I have a bulk mailing permit from USPS..So it cost me roughly $300 per 1000 letters mailed...I print my own letters ( not yellow letters) I use simple white copy paper.
