Bob McGhee I know what I will be getting payed, do you know of templates I can use so I don't have to clear all the cells and everything else myself?

@Thomas Cheek  Send me a PM if interested in hearing about a commercial zoned MFR i viewed last week- i'll send back my cell #  Lets call it the "doors to nowhere house" ha!

Several years ago (like 35 years ago...) when my dad was prepping a house where the tenants left in the middle of the night, I found some underwear that were soilded with blood and stool.  

Being on the hook for over 600k to only make 2k per month is too risky for my blood!

So when they call I collect cell phone numbers, email addresses, what type of houses they like and what price range so I have all the right info when I come across a deal.

about 90-95% of households have registered for the federal do-not-callit's illegal to call cell phones people are changing phone numbers a lot between land lines and cell phones.

You also have maintenance, changing light bulbs, mowing the lawn, shampooing spilled wine/blood stains out of the carpet. 

I've been into real estate investment since I was a teenager and helped my dad on his properties -- I guess it has always been in our blood!

Anyone who expects top dollar for their house and uses their cell phone for the pics, are really limiting themselves.
