With direct mail, you can either do whats called driving for dollars and drive around your neighborhood and make of list of properties that look like their in need of repair, then send them a letter (or knock on the door) asking if they might be interested in selling.

You should be able to answer basic questions that they have such as who will manage the property.

Recently, I really enjoyed Crushing It, Miracle Morning, Four Hour Work Week, Drive, and Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.

.$34M purchase7% preferred returnCash and Cash - 8.5% over 5 yearsWhen deal sold, the principal is returned and 70% of proceeds basedEquity multiple 1.94"Over 5 years, you're basically doubling investment."15.9% IRRUsing that -- and some if the info seems contradictory to me -- how do you simplify to, "If I invested $100K here, assuming their numbers are true, I could expect to earn $XXXX each year and $XXXX total after 5 years"?

It's clear that the Feds relentless drive towards higher interest rates are not having any effect on demand on Massachusetts market.

I have a basic knowledge of flipping, wholesaling and renting.

The deals are there, people that say the deals are not there are basically just saying "I don't know how to find those deals and am not willing to put in the work to get them". 

Think of it like a car, would you pay more for the EXACT car you wanted in stock and drive it back?

Hey everyone, I have been doing driving for dollars lately in my local area and I have found a good amount of homes that look distressed and could be good opportunites for wholesale deals.Today I called one of the owners of the property and she said it was her fathers house who passed away and it was near the lake so it has a lot of upside, but it had some flood damage to it.She said she wasn't in a rush to sell it but if the offer was good she would consider it, the thing that kinda confused me was she said the house is nice but the property value and the lot was where most of the value was.

Everything is going on in the market.Charlotte has one of the most active RE markets in the US.This is an extremely broad question, but some basic economic research on RE trends for the area should paint a good picture for you.
