And mix up your mail pieces.

Everyone wants a pinterest-perfect wedding, but not everyone wants to shell out $4k just for the space.The last puzzle piece to the price is that wedding parties can be some of the neediest customers to work with, and it's not like you're going to get a lot of repeat business.

What kind of marketing piece(s) are you mailing?

might be a bargaining piece with an offer for a reduced price.Mold remediation is costly.  

For those doing direct mail, spend the extra money and send a piece of mail to yourself in the batch that goes out.

My question / perspective is that I do agree with you that yes a landlord does have to look for clients like you suggested, however from my experience that is just a piece of the puzzle.

I needed work on severe wood rot in one of my properties (memphis), and the property manager (Marathon) was suppose to find a contractor who ..exact words on the contract:   Lots of siding on chase(chimney) that needs replaced, will take 9 pieces, 16 ft. then paint repairs $402.50After the work was done I had my agent take before and AFTER pictures.  

We have recently done two bathroom remodels in two rentals using this tile from Lowes around the tub:https://www.lowes.com/pd/Style-Selections-Blairloc...Love it; it's large enough that two pieces side by side covers across the back; goes on quickly and looks great.Used Allure vinyl planking for the flooring instead of tile.Gail

Stocks, bonds, cash, real estate, gold, other alternatives all can have a place in the plan.In the meantime, matches in a 401k are "free money" and a wonderful thing I think everyone should take advantage of.Edit - Forgot to mention, I will take a listen to the Rich Dad piece.  

just as @Barclay Hallowell  explained far more complicated than it looks.you may want to start with a simple lot split or a minor partition.. those are less onerous. once you do 4 lots or more in most jurisdictions this is deemed a subdivision and has a much more rigorous set of hurdles to jump over.As well as this is HIGHLY regionalized.. in our market here in PDX once you go into contract on a piece of dirt you will be 2 years or so before you can break ground and go verticle.. this is resi construction.in CA. it can be that and up to decades..
