For investors who are employed full time in addition to investing: When New Yorkers, Californians, Bostonians, (insert other expensive metros here) do deals in low cost markets, we get a tremendous feedback effect from high dollar amount we are easily able to put into the low cost market.

Paying fees to refinance just so you can turn around and sell the house will hardly ever be cost effective.

"Effective July 21, 2011, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) will be administered and enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)"

Their is definitely going to be a ripple effect and many more than the 5K are going to be displaced at some point.

How will this effect your direct mail campaign?

The difference, of course, is that you'll need to become an effective marketer and that doesn't happen overnight.
