I think for the most part my business is set up pretty good.I have all the letter reference my PO Box.I use a google voice line for all my numbers.The message on the letters are clear and do no have any information that can otherwise be misinterpreted.I have business cards/a web address (still under development)I was getting tired of all the calls to go eff myself, so now all my calls get filtered through a VA.And although I don't have any deals yet, My response rate has been pretty good, about about 10% of the addresses called me back.The cops seemed nice enough and were making me feel like I was a suspect in an illegal drug ring, so I did my best to convey to them that I was a legitament business with rental properties all around my town.

You also can only obtain a few properties rather then numerous properties because you use up your debt-to-income ration.Your friend also says it's bad for the local economy for investors to come in.

I live just outside of Orlando, and I pass numerous vacant houses each day.

Here is a numeric example to illustrate what I am trying to achieve:purchase price + rehab: $100K = $20K cash + $80K from HELOCARV: $133Kcashout refinance 75% of ARV: $100K goes pay off HELOC and keep $20K cashThanksNick

I've got extensive experience in DR marketing and web designing.

@Lora Hish for numerous reasons the property needs to be owned by an LLC.

This property will pay out about 300,000 in commissions between the buyers agent and the sellers agents...really- zero data... zero... but look at the web sites we link too...Scary- these are 2 of the really heavy hitters... they both almost only deal in the 1mm and up deals... scary. very scary...

I have done this numerous times with loans for operating capital, or loans where individuals did not want their funds returned after the sale of a specific property.If you have a different free and clear property, you could secure their loan with that, or any property with substantial equity, could even be your personal residence.

While I don't think your intent was to bash on us and I agree with a lot of the comments you made I've had numerous renters whom have made me cry because they got the house they wanted and wanted to thank us for giving them a chance.
