@Darian Berry I wrote a blog on writing benefit-driven letters to sellers.

Always wanted to give it a go, probably time to start doing some research.David,I thought you might find some value in this blog that I post here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/... 

When you plan your postcard stress that "selling your house will be easier than you think", then talk about how you are prequalified, that they won't have to fix anything or have lots of strangers walking through.I wrote a blog talking about letters to Seniors, but most of the points apply to the average homeowner who might be thinking that they want to sell but feel a bit overwhelmed at the work it will take.https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/11806/84376-your-letter-to-seniors-offer-them-something-they-care-about

@Samuel JoinerI would read thousands of articles and blog posts right here on BP.

My question is about income documentation for the cash out refi's that I will encounter, because I sure as heck won't do all this only to arrive there and discover that I was dreaming. 

Hope you discover a solution that I have not.

On the micro level, you can use this data to spot other opportunities, such as suburban infill lot building or room additions to maximize returns in areas where rental profits may not make sense.On the other hand, I apparently need to get out from behind my desk more often because this past week I re-discovered an entire community (in very competitive Los Angeles county, no less) that is ripe for picking: Alta Dena.

Definitely recommend the podcasts, blogs and checking out the forums.

We have done very well from finding unique niches that work for us.If there is anyone that you connect with, check out there blog in the signature.

I hadn't heard that they had lost the home or had moved, so I googled around and discovered that they lost the home to foreclosure and it was put up for the first auction in Sept. of 2013.
