Know your numbers inside out.Enjoy the ride but keep your eyes open.

The question is where I go from here.Should I sent old fashion snail mail? 

I still am working my first flip the "old" fashion way through the normal type of lender, but was wondering the success rate of getting loans from those teams.

It is a nice blue collar neighborhood, people take care of their yards, right across the street from a food lion and only about a mile from the liquor store. close to the 2 major roads in the area and directly across from a park and ride if you are looking to commute into DC.

There's an element of riding the market up, but it's mainly been through forced appreciation (remodeling and/or building new).  

So, you lived in an overpriced condo for quite a few years because you could, and you've been able to ride out the worst of the bank-inflicted crunch days.

If it is a bumpy ride get a new agent for your next deal.

So, I tend to be more leveraged in a bad market when there are more and better buying opportunities and less leveraged in a hot market where buying opportunities are few and far between ... it is that whole be greedy when others are afraid and afraid when others are greedy mindset sort of thing ...Now, as my portfolio grew to a point beyond which if I had all the properties paid off the resulting cash flow would support my expenses plus reasonable margin (which is 2x for me) ... ones I hit that point, I "flipped the switch" from growth mode (with leverage) to capital preservation mode (free and clear) and as result started plowing all my cash flow and new contributions into paying off those mortgages in snowball fashion.

However, I'm dealing with a seller who I think would appreciate some goodwill in this fashion. 

Part of being an investor is riding the highs and the lows.
