Hi all,I'm curious what everyone is doing to learn how to turn out successful direct mail campaigns. Any suggestions

That's a tough break.

If it’s anything like Louisville, KY finding a good deal on a multi-family will be tough to come by without connecting with other investors/agents in your area to potentially find an off market property. 

.- How are you allowing contractors in/out of the property & securing materials?

Most contractors will take the appropriate measures to protect the materials on site and the only project that may be effected by snow would be replacing a roof.

That, along with the rising materials cost = not a great situation to be in.

I tell my sales reps that if the seller is really tough to deal with on the first phone call, then we usually want to pass on it, since if they are that tough just to ask some basic questions, imagine what they would be like when we need access, are negotiating a contract, or God forbid need to try to re-negotiate terms, i.e. ask for an extension, or every once in awhile a price reduction if the repairs a lot more than we originally thought. 

Do not waste money on material things.

@Jack Stewart we serving what Chris wrote and will add a little more tough love advice - STOP believing what everyone is telling you!

Definitely a tough situation but you’ve got to treat this like a business.
