Some get into the business thinking it is going to be a piece of cake and find out the challenges and maybe that was not the challenge they were looking for.  

I was reading yesterday online that since you can not use pictures on your add to market a property you don't own you can sign a piece of paper (can not remember what it was called) with the seller when you sign a purchase agreement and it will be attached to the POS and this allows rehabbers, investors, estimators to go to the house look at it and get estimates.

I market and market AND FRIGGIN MARKET my butt off having no idea if it will amount to anything, if my list is even a good list at all, if my marketing pieces are even effective, if the recipients .. even if they are in desperate need to sell... will even see my mailers... soo many variables without any guarantee there will be an ROI at all.No no my friend.

I may not have been on property every day but that scope of work answered countless questions when I was not there to do so.I brought my father and step-mother aboard to act as my eyes and ears when I wasn’t there.

If anyone knows of any other options that might be good I'm all ears!

I have been on many many inspections and I have never seen an inspector walk "all" the perimeter walls.As to the fact that the subfloor is 2x6x20 that is no big deal you can piece the floor just as easily as plywood.Don't whine take a deep breath and have a glass of some Sonoma County Cabernet instead.

We just bought a piece of land in Jasper place on the west end and are planning two skinnies there.

Your ears must have been burning because I just posted a few questions on your blog post. 

You aren't giving us 2 very important pieces of information...ARV & what your exit strategy is.  

You need to send a good mail piece (something compelling that calls to action), that stands out from the rest and gets your phone to ring.
