I’ve picked up a few books on wholesaling since this post and in the midst of tax season I’m trying to plan ahead.

Do you simple write up an agreement and get it notarized? 

First one is a basic intro (we buy houses, want to buy 2 in your town this spring, selling direct is great for X reasons, let me know if you want an offer), second one highlights what type of sellers typically like to sell to investors (own timeline, no hassle, house needs repairs etc), third mailing is a simple postcard that has similar message on it, fourth mailing is a letter saying I've reached out before and thought you might find these FAQs useful (and I include a 4 pg FAQ distilled from my website)-- I expected that letter to have more response (you'll see above the 4th mailing had a <1% response rate) and it may be that ppl are waiting til after Easter to call, as I get more calls after holidays when ppl have had time to talk to their family.How to track all of this... you can guess by now that I'm super data oriented.

Pick a solid B-Class suburban area.

Hey All,The question I have for all you self managing landlords today is, does anyone have any good tips or tricks (I don't mean actually tricking your tenant) into a simple and stress free way of having them sign a new year lease with slight rent increase about 2.5% Ive been doing this for years now and Ive just come to the point where I'm tired of hearing the same old "Oh well we are going to probably be moving" or "This is broke, I need a new stove, bathroom, car..."

So if FTW is top pick of 4 sites, what are the odds it will come?

Call their Children’s to pick them up!

Hey Ken, I would start with a simple search in the BP search Bar for Seller Financing.

There is no backyard, that would be too simple.

But in California you need to be a notary first (as I understand it) and its not a simple process.
