What's kind of things do you guys put on your letters and postcards?

Flooring, countertops, paint, ceiling fans, stole all the mini blinds, ect...They considered that "normal wear and tear" and denied the claim.I then get a letter saying they are dropping coverage for too many claims thus putting me on a wild goose chase for insurance 1 month before my annual renewal. 

Anyway I have about $135k available on my heloc. sale price on the duplex is $279,000, so 20% is about $56k. the house is perfectly livable as-is, but at $60/sqft and properties on the block selling for $140/sqft i think there is room for some forced appreciation. the building is currently a three-floor duplex townhouse, one unit is the ground floor and unit two is the top two floors. all floors are basically the same floor plan. the second floor has a kitchen/laundry stacked above the first floor kitchen/laundry. on the third floor, the room is in the same place and empty, but utilities (water gas electric) are already run and in place for adding a third kitchen/laundry, so conversion to triplex would be simple as installing cabinets and appliances and building an exterior staircase up to the second floor rear deck. the three 2bed/1bath units would rent for $1000-$1200 a month each, conservatively. we would have to find somewhere else to live for that to happen, but that is our 1-3 year goal anyway. would it be better to make the bank loan smaller with a bigger down payment from the HELOC?

It can take a while to find a good deal, depending on your market you may need to be searching by zip code or even neighborhood or particular blocks.

You’ll get letters when it is time for annual inspection.

Write a letter to the seller telling them they owe you any rents they receive post closing. 

Jason,You have (90) days to occupy unless there is an "extenuating circustance" and renters unfortunatley fall under that reason so (Good & Bad) you would just have to show the proper procedures (court request to vacate) if the lender requests reason or letter of explanation.

I'm do plan to send out 1000 handwritten letters within the next couple months though.

Are you driving every block in your zip code and noting changes on blocks, smaller homes, value add opportunities?

Online, internet search and writing letters How did you finance this deal?
