In my time as an Realtor and Investor I have been very blessed and look to find ways in which I can PAY IT FORWARD.My latest idea that I am trying to put into fruition is using staging furniture that has been donated by my local Habitat Restore, coordinating with a local artist to redo and style, then stage my home with these redesigned pieces of art.It's a win-win-winHabitat gets money from me buying it, the artist gets paid to restore it, then when there is a price tag put on it in my home, boasting the artist and the funds going BACK to habitat should a buyer purchase the property, both the artist and habitat gets paid again.

If you have a really demanding need and need a top notch photographer you will have to pay a lot more.That being said most people with websites that are small potatoes don't need all rights, just usage rights and not the copyright.

If you have a really good piece going to a really good list you could meet or exceed that, but also don't be bummed out if you are like 5-10 rather than 50 calls.When you talk about 500 letters are you planning on having a list of 500 and mailing them consistently or are you going to have a bigger list and mail out 500 a week until you hit the whole list?

Scenario 1 - If the walls are already white or tan I will generally cut a piece and color match.

The cost of this "improvement" is an important, decision-making piece of data (because if I can't unload this cost onto the tenants, the deal won't work). 

His biggest piece of advice is to go out and meet people constantly.

In this business you have to have all the right pieces and a business model.
