Thank you all for your feedback, I appreciate the vital information given, I decided to put the $2,500 towards a direct mail campaign, as I continue to do more research and look for properties.

If I have to refund a portion to start eviction, so be it.  

I agree with you that a multi step mailing campaign will always out pull a once and done, however, if this is your first campaign and you have a mentor that is doing what you aspire to, I might defer to her.You can do exactly what she says to get her results (if they are desirable to you) and then improve on what she is doing from there.Early on I had a mentor who I listened to exactly and I owe a large portion of my early success to listening to his advice verbatim.

When you're mailing probate leads, obviously it's vital to contact them over-and-over, and not just once.But at what point do you just move on and assume that the PR/Executor simply has no plans on selling the property?

Once you purchase your property you get renters in the other portions of the building.

But what I see at first glance is that this is a marginal deal at best, even before you consider the financing portion.

Chris NAWhile a good team is vital to a successful business, you should focus on your business plan through which you can create revenue.

If your SDIRA is being used for a portion of the downpayment, the loan will most likely need to be non-recourse.

Looks like investors are making up a much larger (and growing) portion of sales than has been the case in the past.  

Even if you pay off a majority of your primary residence and finance a small portion, that may be advantageous.
