I end up stacking three bricks high in the end.Those bricks were on sale at several pennies a piece.

I send multiple letters to the same person in an aggressive form, they receive relevant content: Day1,3,5,7,10,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70 days out.... seems excessive to some but it works for me. 13 pieces per person over 10 weeks.

Doing so will change the way you think and communicate, which will make you more attractive to those who have the pieces you currently lack.

If this building sits at the edge of your land sell off just that piece of land creating a new parcel and dump it.

I also re-read Rich Dad and am working through pieces of The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

The NAHB was just out with a chart on this at the state level in an piece about the age of the housing stock: http://eyeonhousing.org/2014/02/05/the-age-of-the-housing-stock-by-state/ Now this chart is based on Census data and uses the under 45 cohort instead of specifically the 18-34 YO group but you can clearly see where the young population is growing.

I wish I had it right now as I have found a piece of property that I believe a lot of people on this site would buy for a buy and hold unit.

Response rates vary depending upon the piece I send and how many times I have hit the prospect.

Appreciate the encouragement James, any insight that you could share with me would be valued, I'm all ears and all in for this successful journey that I'm embarking on.

The situation is this:A Piece of land zoned as a multi-family property but undersized is up for sale due to the owner not able keep the property (house is rundown and needs to be demolished).
