We all have different strengths and things to bring to the table (I've done wholesale/option deals/Licensed | Partner A: Mobile home investor/note investor | Partner B: Wholesaler/Licensed/ Small portfolio...) but....As of right now, things have slumped, and we have no idea what to do now or what the next step is We market by: 1,000 pieces of mail a week (Which BARELY converts to anything, we get more calls asking to get removed from the list than leads.), scrubbing the public records for notice of defaults (a list you have to manually do as our county doesn't have the records online), bandit signs (but 3 wholesale players have entered our market and take down every sign we put up), door knocking (Which takes up too much time).

The off white may be a very light member of the greige camp, but the other two I would call bone and...well, beige and not greige and not tan and not almond (note, I am color challenged but beige can be yellow or pink and while neutral, completely outdated due to undertone...my first and last quart of greige, used as asubtle accent wall, had a disappointing purple undertone.)  

Do they not know it is going to be a pink house long before its time???

In all states I am aware of if its 5 units or more... bare land.,,, true commercial ( Ie a shopping center) new construction)  etc etc most of that is exempt from any kind of licensure. 

If in ten years time you are not where you want to be as a real estate investor, if you haven't achieved your goal of not needing a job, if your properties are barely generating any cash flow, if you seem to be acquiring more properties and less equity in them, it will be because you spent your time on "motivational" education and searching for the elusive "technique" that will lead to riches, rather than acquiring a genuine real estate education, one that includes the theory of property ownership, real estate finance, real estate law, property management and investment principles.  

So I'm assuming both building A and B are configured to be able to sell as separate units sch as individual meters, kitchen and bathrooms, in other words they meet your areas zoning code standards to be sold separately.

But the Bay Area migration had barely begun...  

.) - it's still barely more than half of what we paid for it in 2004, and less than half of what it appraised for in 2006...So, it's very possible to lose money in Northern CA if you buy at the wrong time, like we did.

As you mentioned, you're barely breaking even at $276 for the year.

When I had just 1 unit, i barely noticed it.
