But in my opinion, in every experience you either WIN or LEARN.My question is, those of you who do direct mail campaigns, do you address the sellers situation directly with your mail piece or do you send a generic mail piece?

Also make sure you have another exit strategy, if you buy below market you'll have equity and will be able to easily sell in the future.Most deals on MLS aren't going to leave you much room, too little inventory and too much competition.  

I just want this to be win-win for everyone, including the neighborhood the homes are in.  

I only purchase properties that are (or can easily be) separately metered for electric/gas, however none are separately metered for water.  

My properties would be considered B/B- but were easily D class when I first purchased them.

The same goes for appraisals - just know that even though you and your agent are "certain" it will appraise, you have to make up the difference if it does not.As @Arlen Chou mentioned, working with someone who knows what they are doing should allow you to get all of the inspections and results easily within a 10 day window.

I think trying to make something seem like its easy and always win win hurts people in the end when things start to turn bad.

Obviously not, since I've paid for him to do about a dozen of them so far when I could've easily filled in the blanks.

My question is for both sales is the winning bidding price going to clear title?
