By the time the property hits the streets it's over priced.  

Any meet ups in North Conway, NH area?

But after studying for that long, it is now much easier to spot a potential bargain and estimate rehab costs, so soon one of these will hit. 

Even if you just need a second set of eyes on a deal you are looking at, hit me up..

I hate that you are getting hit up with sales pitches, but it is going to happen more and more as you tell people you have money, but you probably expected that.  

Do NOT leverage to high, or when the next economy recession hits and more vacancies occur in your city, you could end up paying more for the mortgage vs the rent+expenses. 

So the moral of the story is with one hard credit hit I got two vehicles financed at low interest 10k of additional credit and took 5k worth of debt at 25% interest and got it down to 3.5% and 0%.

I have been looking primarily into Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

What I'm considering:Adding Last Market Sale Date prior to 2009 (both)Reducing Tax Assessed Value from $200k max down to $150k max (both)Adding 7 more zip codes (only absentee list)I will still hit 1000 lettersReasoning behind including last market sale date because is that a lot of my calls have been from landlords who bought after the crash, rehabbed, rented and are now looking to see what they can get for the work put in.

Anson hit it dead-on.
