OTOH, something like a cross between a campground and a truck stop may evolve.

Hey Everyone,It took longer than I expected, but my first batch of yellow letters are finally done.I will be mailing Saturday, so people will receive early next week.For the first batch we used my just girlfriends name on the letters, she will be answering most of the calls while I'm at work, and since she wrote most of them it made sense.My list came from listsource, my criteria was the following: Total Assessed Value $1-$150,000 Last Market Sale Date 9/1/1900 - 9/1/2008 Property Type Residential: SFR Equity(%) 41 to 100 % Bedrooms 3-5 Absentee Owned ALL STATES Exclude TRUSTEEMy yellow letters were written with red ink on a 5 x 8 yellow legal pad, The envelopes were an A2 (4 3/8 x 5 3/4) in a Pastel Green color.I am mailing First Class USPS, with multiple stamps on each envelope to grab attention.The total number of letters sent is 330, Spread between 5 zip codes I am familiar with.

Hi, Im a green Noob, looking to get started  rehabbing / flipping in Southern California.

Light industrial next to the airport, apartments close to colleges, retail centers on major cross streets, office buildings on "prestigious" streets, would all seemingly meet, individually, or collectively, a dream portfolio.We have all sorts of formulas for analyzing real estate investments.

On craigslist you can put up only cross streets for a SFR to avoid giving the exact address.

In our experience the exception to this is many old - Second Empire, Victorian, Edwardian, ballon-framed houses had horizontal cross-members in the wall cavity spaces (aside from the plate at the ceiling or floor).

It is something that is built into my Mac and when I google things there is a green, yellow or red dot next to each item that comes up on a search.

I'm pretty green still, so this is all very helpful.

If not, then you are in the "green".

I am still pretty green with investment experience, but in the Rich dad series, Ken McElroy wrote "ABCs of real estate investing" which tosses around pretty rationale ideas on how to scope for prospective markets and how to build a team... all tactics which he claims to personally use.
