The name escapes me at the moment for what the business is called.

It seems too tight to hold as a rental, and as you mentioned there is not enough meat on the bone for a flip. 

If your comps are unicorns and rainbows and the deals don't have meat on them, your business will not and you will get a reputation as such.I wrote a blog about it on MOR Financial (http://www.morfinancial.com/#!

:)I believe most things happen for a reason, and the $197 I've spent on the 3-day workshop doesn't bother me at all if I get some good info out of there, which again, I feel I have already learned quite a bit in just the past week.  

Contrast that with this ad would probably BEST be targeted to renters, owners of homes in this addition (If Im going to do an open house with the goal of getting business from the neighbors I want them to see my face before they see me at the open house...

Message me or better yet call me at 832-848-0253Fabian

My goal is to have the "meat and potatoes" of the offer on the first page of the offer (one-page offer supported by the rest of the fluff behind it). 

I always put an yellow and black or black and white, "I will buy this house today if the owner will call me at 000-000-0000" yard sign by the sidewalk, and it has gotten me a call back about 46% of the time.

Preferably more like the 6% a Realtor would have cost them.Only you can decide whether that is enough meat on the bone for you.

Hi,Looking at the property is most important. if you tell her you can just drive by or look inside to determine if you will make a full offer or if she will have to bring money to the table she may help out more.When you get the address you might be able to google it and at least see the outside and the neighborhood the street view.Short sales take a lot of time and red tape, it has to be approved and the seller will have to prove she can no longer make the normal payments.If that is the case the mortgage holder is looking for a magic number, I have done a few of these.What else is going on with this deal?
