Some will respond now and others in a few months.Being consistent is the key to success.It is much better to send 100 letters once a month for a year then to send 1,200 letters all at once and run out of money.If you send the wrong message to 1,200 people even if they are targeted you will get low to zero response.If you start small and experiment you will find the sweet spot that generates the best result over time.The goal is to constantly tweak your control to improve response.First start out with a small mailer such as 50 or 100 and then start tracking.After you have the increased response to a fantastic level then you go bigger and scale it up.Usually 1 to 2% is average,5% is really good,10% and you are hitting a grand slam.This process I am mentioning has been tested thousands of times to be most effective in successful mailings.

A grand kid had killed his grandmother and shoved her in the gravity fed furnace (REALLY BIG Furnace).

Unfortunately, that's only a few grand per year and is subject to income limitations.You might look into a Solo 401K and see if you could set up a company that owns rentals and using the income to fund the 401K.

I am a few thousand in the black overall and if I sell the houses I will have a good chunck of money to do something else with but in the grand sheme of things for all the time and effort I put into it, it just has not been worth it.

It was down to just two bidders now, going back and forth, and back and forth.This continued for another $20 grand before these two geniuses realized that they worked for the same hedge fund and they were bidding against themselves!

The association was made up of accountants, retired grand mothers, computer programmers, basically no one that knew anything about real estate or construction.

@WenY I know I'm late to the conversation but I have a pending counter offer on an REO property in the Greater Grand Crossing area.

Have attorney file monetary judgement Monetary judgment would not cost more than a few grand.
