I am a Realtor and of course familiar with the regular real estate transactions with buyers and sellers but I do not have enough knowledge about investing. I would like to start investing in real estate myself. There ...

@Danny Randazzo I have adopted a technique I heard on an early BP podcast episode called the "three food rule".

I don't think any of these techniques work if the sewer lien becomes the responsibility of the new buyer.Several ways to do it.

Many years back i talked an investor client into trying this out on 1 property with tenants, and doing the "norm" on the other down the same street. 1yr later we showed up for annual inspections and at the 1 we used conditioning techniques, we showed up to find carpet crews on site, the tenants paid out of there own pocket to have new carpets installed and professional painters come in, all so they could retain their good tenant discounts.

When we used to buy houses we would use all different kinds of post card techniques.  

I’ll use some technique to leverage for more props. - numbers fit - Cap rate, ROE etc.

Talk to neighbors for anecdotal tips on your target's affiliations with other neighbors, church, associations or interests.Try searching their name online search engines.Look at major social mediaReverse engineer the property title for hints at prior addressesLook for clues of other relativesAncestry dot com may have an existing family tree posted or hints at relatives, ancestors, perhaps offsprings and siblings.Skip trace techniques can go pretty deep.

Chad,Installing an egress window in a basement will likely involve enlarging the existing window opening; digging a window well and tying it into the French drain; and, if deep enough, installing a ladder in your well.

etc.Your answer would help determine what sort of tips can apply to you.Since I am a flipper, I usually take some of the direct marketing techniques that I pick up in the podcasts or on the blogs and try them out.

How would I profit from this type of investing technique?
