What happens in seller financed deals...people lose their job, they move for a new job, the die, they get divorced, they take bankruptcy, they have other family members move in with them that strains them financially, the get sued, they become incapacitated and so on....

Every year, new strains of the flu are identified and the most common are addressed by that year's flu vaccine.

What I have found is a very, verry, verrry recent case that you might want to watch as it unfolds.http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/melrose/2009/10/ag_coakley_cracks_down_on_melr.htmlIn this case the landlord told the section 8 client that she/he did not want to deal with the Section 8 program and the governments response was "We are facing critical housing needs in the Commonwealth and the strain on those needing rental or transitional housing assistance is particularly great,'' said Coakley.

Set up a list of homes you plan to target and rotate letters and cards every 4 to 6 weeks.

FYI, the house was purchased while the market was bottoming so if renting to family doesn't work, we are in a good position to rent or sell without strain (at least without financial strain).I appreciate the feedback!!!

Sorry its sideways it wont let me rotate it and its fine to begin with on my end.

Not as much as I was in prior weeks since I've been picking up a lot of OT at work to fund my starting up in wholesale (I believe in the philosophy that it takes money, even if a little, to make money.)With all that being said, I work a rapid rotation shift (12 hour shifts, couple days of day ****, couple days off, couple days night shift, couple days off, rinse and repeat.)

You'll get more calls if people can SEE you and get to know YOU over that 12 months of repeated touches.One more thing.  12 touches is really over-kill, so here's a strategy to consider:  You could mail to 5,000 total instead - 2,500 one month and the other 2,500 the following month, and just rotate your list between the 2.  

Goal is every month; two rotations. 4x6 invitation size card and handwritten font on linen paper.

I have many friends who are active and know the strain put on them and their families when duty calls.
