@Guy Gimenez, any suggestions on how a newbie can increase deal flow? 

As I learned on BP, I don't want to buy a property hoping that the value will increase drastically because the neighborhood will get better over time.

I will inform them about the letter of explaining what their living conditions are like.

I'm have a job that's higher paying than the one I will be going to, and my current DTI is low given I have a high-paying job, but my DTI will increase since my new job is lower paying.

I currently only have Class A properties with zero tenant or property issues however I’m thinking about going with this property class to increase my overall portfolio cash flow.

Property info: #1 main residence, current value $1m, outstanding mortgage $400k#2 current value $600kSo, ideally I'd like to have one mortgage for $1m, to cover both properties - as that would mean only one mortgage, only one enquiry = increased probability for approval. 

Now, this is where you can really maximize your results - creative mailers, that actually stand out from your competition's mailers have provided me with a 26.7% increased response rate from using a standard yellow mailer type.Finally, the deals are in the consistency and follow up.  

Depending on the The condition of the clay pipe, it may or may not work well.

This has more than doubled the size of their planning department, and drastically increases the population.

@Hope Straw we take lots of properties in tax sale in similar condition.
