(2) But counterpoint to (1), I've read (on this web site, no less) that a responsible investor tries to paint as complete a picture as he can during his pro forma, therefore it is prudent to include the costs of the PM.Please note: I live abroad and have for a few years.

I was interested in getting some ideas of how much mail campaigns are costing people these days.

I'd recommend setting up some Keyword Alerts for terms like "commercial" so when the topic is discussed, you'll get an email and you can jump into the conversation.

Does anyone else exclude certain properties or do you just do a mass mail out to all addresses in the neighborhood?

Also, I can't see a way to monitor a topic or pop a thread out to a web page to access other features like monitor.

Don't get caught up in the engineering side of a deal.Make your offer.Get an acceptance.Tell escrow the terms and your buyer's name.Let them figure it all out and mail you a check when the dust settles.Cash your check and keep looking for more deals.It REALLY is that easy.

Get on wholesalers' email lists.

I am already part of your email list for turnkey properties.
