Before I left, I gave her a $20 Panera gift card for being so wonderful thus far.I feel like this is a very good relationship to have and even if a deal falls through, I can keep facilitating my relationship with her and the park. 

I put my phone # and Website on my post cards.

You can send out mailer post cards to neighborhoods where you would like to take on buyers and sellers.Some agents go door knocking for business.Your brokerage whomever you go with should be able to offer you some advice on how to get started. 

Another rental I didn't raise the rent for their renewal because that local market in and of itself would not support it.

And collect business cards of all the players in your area?

I have a group that meets monthly(my profile has details), there is another group that meets monthly, there are 2 real good BIG groups that charge $140+ per year but are great for networking.Start meeting people, learning, business cards and let everyone know that you are looking for properties to purchase.

Straight out of high school I served in the military and then spent the past 10 years working in IT.I have finally reached a point where I’m tired of working for the corporate industry on a limited salary while doing nothing for my retirement.For the past year I’ve been watching house flipping shows and decided I wanted to give it a try.Six months ago I bought my first house with a 203k loan that I’m currently living in so I could get some experience.I paid $167,500 for the house and took out $35,000 with the 203k.The house was a probate that had been abandoned for 5 years.Half the house was on a concrete slab that had sunk about 4” in the middle and it was completely outdated.We removed 2 load bearing walls to open up the kitchen, knocked out the back wall, built a new subfloor, and put up a 4 panel sliding glass door to let in some sun light.We installed porcelain tile in the kitchen, stainless steel appliances, new cabinets and quartz counters as well as recessed lighting.We fixed the foundation problems by mudjacking to raise the floors and carpeted the back 3 rooms that sat on top of the slab.As you can imagine we ran through the $35,000 quickly.The 2 bathrooms are still outdated and the house needs new siding.After the renovation we had it reappraised (per the 203k loan agreement) and they said it was worth $215,000.About 3 months after the renovation I attended a 3 day Fortune Builders seminar and come to a realization I probably could have saved about $20,000 if I had systems and processes to follow before I purchased the house.After listening to BP podcasts and hear other people’s experiences I’m quite fortunate I didn’t lose money.This sums up my real estate investing experience.

Has anyone used a 1 pager format to introduce investors to RE investing (SFR rehab projects) and raise capital?

These created a slightly raised floor above the slab surface that allows a drying space, and the finished flooring material stays dry.  

I do like the idea of card machines over coin but that may be more expensive for the card reader.
