Trust me, about a year ago when I was getting out I had to consider not having all the benefits of the military, but here is what my situation looks like today:1) I was able to apply the skills and experience / education gained from the military and find a job I loved and one with great benefits2) I don't miss the BX at all, in fact, I preferred Target when I was in the Air Force anyways. 3) Have you tried taking a MAC flight lately?

Let's say your using direct mail, bandit signs, whatever - if you can touch people once a month with your offer, in a memorable way... then in about 6 months you'd really have developed good awareness in your target audience.SOOOO... you could end up just getting the marketing working for you about the time you move back to VA!

Sounds like you want to target some of NW DFW, but don't overlook your back yard in Wichita Falls.

Since I target the Bronx, Queens and Yonkers, there may be quite a few multi-family duplexes.

It was right on target for me.I'm currently at 2 mortgages and like @Mike Barryit was suggested to me to use up the other 2 (lower interest rate) and then seek out a portfolio lender.

I've got 4 units that I rent out furnished and all bills paid.My target market is guys coming into town for work and want to save compared to a hotel, Most of my contracts are month to month, I'm getting nearly double market rent, and I have a wait list (I know many of you are wondering about vacancies).One lady has ended up with me in a long term situation and is happily paying the higher rent, uses less utilities than her neighbor, fixes her own stuff, even though I implore her not to and to let me pay my handiman to do it, and pays rent early.I knew she had one cat.  

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around!

As a reference since I hadn't mentioned it in my intro, I am 29 years old.George, I don't have any particular reason as to why I'm targeting preforeclosures, aside from the fact that it was the easiest data to find.

I am targeting just 2 zip codes and will keep tweaking until IO get some results.

Then present it to H and ask him to provide a response on each point.If his response is verbal, write it all down and send back to him for his confirmation of what is now being said.For repair requests - make them in writing and ask for a target date for when it will be fixed.
