There is so much to learn and you cannot wait to get started because of it,  Education is a necessary evil that will help you be dominate in your field.  

@Dominic A.

you can pm me if you preferi'm 60 selling off all of my properties this spring summer and fully retiringand i never did rehabs, duplexes, rough areas,I promise you, there is a waywithout fear whereyou control every stepand investing meshes with your current lifestyle (vs dominates it)Look forward to guiding you (NO CHARGE): )

Hey Dominic Schroeder , I'll look into this tomorrow for you when I get into the office.

I know that it "sucks" to talk about price decrease with the seller, but based on the typical DOM in this area, I think it is obvious that they won't sell fast at the current price.

I want to make the best use of my limited resources but am very willing to work.Is anyone familiar with Chris Bruce's Direct Mail Domination?

@Elizabeth Wilson  you can experiment.. but most will just think what will it COST me.. bottom line.when your in a renter dominated market like Memphis  55% of people rent.. there is not an overwhelming desire to own  if it cost more than rent.Unless you move into A class properties were you may be working with white colar execs who maybe got transferred and need to sell their home before they can buy etc etc.I have sold a few this way personally.. and they ended up executing the option.. but these were 300 to 500k homes and the leasors were 700 plus fico and 6 figure earners.. etc etc.. not trying to wedge a renter into being an owner through credit repair etc... can that work yes does it not much.. you know who your tenant base is there in Memphis

@Gene Guarino  Thanks for your input.  

Others like @Douglas Skipworth and his company are happy in those areas.2. transitioning neighborhoods that are moving from homeowner to renter dominated..

Gene Trowbridge was quite rude to me via email when I inquired about it so I'm not planning on attending.
