I am looking to acquire my first property soon but wanted some ideas on how to proceed if the goal is to build the portfolio with buy and hold for the long term.

I have now decided that I want to do direct mail marketing in order to generate deals that I can buy and hold via seller finance,  or lease option,  or wholesale,  to raise capital for my buy and hold goals. 

However, I have made the conscious decision to start taking the necessary steps in order to make my goal a reality. 

Make sure the channel and budget fit for your goals and hit the gas hard on that medium until you like the results then move to the next medium and master it.

Well, that really depends on what your future investing goals are.
