Hey Everyone,First off thank you for creating a warm, friendly, informational public forum!

Hi Dave,Thanks a lot for the warm welcome. 

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Hey guys, sorry for the delay in getting back...But thank you very much for the warm welcome. 

Thanks for the warm welcome eveyone! 

I check various real estate sites routinely but nothing ever seems to jump out to me, and if a deal is look-warm, it seems to sell.I'm in the Minnesota area, ideally around Rochester, but perhaps Minneapolis.

Here's what I used to do: go to craigslist and start calling 'for rent' ads, chat with the people, ask about the place, why it's for rent, would they consider selling it...etcThis is a small warm up exercise - I need about 5-7 warm up calls to get in my zone.

For instance really warm clients tenants can like the cold feel of tile on the floors.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes.

Thank you for the very warm welcomes so far!
