Youtube has a good video on how to do it and save a little $$$.

I plan to start running some direct mail campaigns soon and would like to interact with anyone who has experience with that specifically those who have deal with the Los Angeles market and surrounding areas.

BiggerPockets has been a great resource so far and I look forward to interacting with the community here.Thanks,Patrik

This is the kind of interaction and information that makes Bigger Pockets great!

If I am calling from the other side of the country, I wonder how many sellers will not want to do business with me because I am not local, or because they want a face to face interaction, or think that I might be a scam?

With all of the interaction on the forums, and the shear amount of information, it looks like a great place for beginners and seasoned investors alike.

You will learn a lot fast by reading the articles, listening to the BP Podcast (Nobody formally sells anything on any episode) and reading and interacting in these forums.

The interaction is just incredible.

I have been reading articles and watching videos on Bigger Pockets for a few weeks now.

I want to use them toCheck properties internationally via video call, so let say I'm virtually visiting the property with the seller, realtor & etc at the other side.
