I have been unsuccessful at getting a reply to mails and texts. 

I've found a few lots I'm interested in and have gotten the mailing addresses on the lots.

My e-mail address is on my profile.

The average P/E of the stock market historically is about where it is RIGHT NOW ( around 16) so I would say things are not heavily overvalued or undervalued right now. 

All S8 paid by the 1st, as always.We'll see how many of the rest pay, as they have to go get a money order and mail it in (two online payers already paid, another has it set up).

It means I can now close transactions on Georgia property from anywhere in the world, as long as I can hop on a video-conference call with my U.S. passport or drivers license handy.As someone who's done two decades of mail-away closings with buyers and sellers scattered halfway around the world, I'm speechless!

Could we just keep track of the proffits and expenses ouselves and each report our share of it on a 1040 schedule E come tax season?

We are excited also to e-meet an aspiring Real Estate investor like you. 

You can hand write letters and leave them on the door, knock the door and talk to the owner, skip trace the address and call and email the owner, Send letters in the mail, use something like Deal Machine(though it costs a little bit to use).
