I have been doing passive investing in scrape off (tear downs) In denver and commercial in Illinois.

(Great for follow ups)Greeting Cards- average response rate of 2%, mostly quality calls.

You take credit card over phone for first month and you are good to go.  

The top scraped off and left the paper and glue. 

The first one that came up is Discover loans- I have had a card with them since college maybe that could be a start

One is your credit card.

It may be a better idea to learn from someone else who focuses more heavily on the standard yellow letter, post card, and bandit sign methods.

They tend to like the small spaces.Also a printing business for cards,shirts,etc.These are mom and pop tenants that are local to the community.

There are 2 vacant and ones a scrape.

you can lead a horse to the water trough but you can't make them drink.in my mind if this person can easily afford it.. then its his choice.if this person is like so many that get talked into putting it on their credit cards and going into massive debt to be talked into taking massive action.. then I think stronger words of caution are fair game.I have been and still do fund man students of the various guru's.. have been to virtually all the bus tours and stuff.. there is a fair amount of folks that get a lot out of it and go on to start their investing career.. but But  just like anything only a certain amount of folks will make it at this game simple as that.
