Great books: Millionaire Real Estate Investor, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, Richest Man in Babylon, and The ABCs of Real Estate are my favorite R.E.

I've also visited 15+ countries all over the world ranging from Southeast Asia to the Middle East to Eastern Europe, some of my favorites being Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Italy, and Thailand.

By far my favorite holiday of the year.  

One of my favorite stories about judging a book by it's cover I told here or somewhere.

(screent shot of "settings" - "groups & circles" family gets the friends and family message, spam goes straight to voicemail, tenants get the 693RENT message and everyone else gets my Nick Miller the Realtor message)There are tons of features with google voice that might help you in your real estate investing but these are my favorites.

I have toyed with using Creekview realty or some other flat fee realty next vacancy to get MLS exposure and see if I get higher quality tenants, but recently our market is hot and I have gotten tenants who actually want my neighborhood  to remain in the same schools, which is my favorite reason to hear and has always worked out for me.  

I will do that - I just didn't want to take up a slot that would prevent someone else from attending, since I knew the time wouldn't work for me. 

Like Philly and Dallas are two of my favorites, but they are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of offering.

I'm just curious to see if any seasoned investors had a favorite resource or strategy for finding leads that are outside of the MLS.

I've been listening to many podcasts and many successful wholesalers have said that direct mailings are their favorite way to obtain leads.
