Jeff Hall what kind of law do you specialize in? I

I did a accidental mail out to Harlingen and leads are coming in. I

My question is: at what point do the attorneys and website come in? I

If I see anyone outside within a couple houses of a property i'm interested in, I ask them if anyone lives there.  

hi everyone i need some marketing advice i am a bit modern i dont know how to do direct mail marketing in addition to that i dont know how to find motivated sellers in Maryland the area i live in is a bit stable and prices of home are a bit high, i am looking for some advice maybe even a mentor that could guide me i know how to market in other areas but for Maryland its just a bit hard for me i dont know why.

I house hacked and my first, currently only rental, was the house I was living in.  I

I'm not super confident on the ARV though because the sell prices in the last 6 mo vary by 100k, but I can't tell what condition these places are in. I

You really need to know as much as you can about the business you are trying to be successful in. I

Again thanks for chiming in, I really appreciate your perspective.  

You might go ahead and get pre-approved for a loan just in case the owner won't do owner financing ( that way you learn the process somewhat and get some experience in what they require).As for the house that hasn't been lived in I would say check what local houses are selling for and that will give you an after repair value (ARV) [basically an idea of what a fixed up house is worth].If the owner is up for selling the property definitely get a home inspection so you know what you're dealing with.Hope this helps.
