Background - It's a 3 bdr /2 ba /2 car attached single story home reported at 1,630 sq ft. built in 1982 in the San Antonio, TX area.

I have been coming across many properties with 2 or 3 three lots attached to them.

you could lease the building from her at $840 mortgage payment and sub lease the building to the tenant .This would show as income but as mentioned the mortgage would not be attached to you 

Attach them all together and have them close simultaneously.  

I'm leaning toward the postcards, but the pens offer me a chance to physically hand the pen to a prospective client, attaching a face & personality to the name.By the numbers:I'm looking at 200 pens for roughly $70 vs maybe 2000 postcards for roughly $300+ postageAny input is appreciated!

ok, on paper it looks good, see attached calculations I made.

Also, if wholesalers are operating with integrity and being upfront with the homeowners, why not just enter into an option to purchase agreement with a form PSA attached as an exhibit?

Or they attach points.
