What is your experience with handwritten letters vs typed, printed and signed.I currently have a couple small multi family properties and have realized ater listening to a recent episode that if I want to grow my business I need to get into direct mail and create opportunites rather than waiting for them on the mls to pop up.

(Full disclosure), I am part of the group and love the founders, but can honestly say they have helped me grow in the space.

Now we are realy looking to scale and are in search of an investor/partner to continue growing. 

@Farzan SetayeshNothing out of the ordinary, but I use the combination of the following consistently:- google photo for agent photo/video sharing- docusign for executing docs- acrobat X for all other doc edits- whatsapp for texts and phone calls- online money wiring or ACH for large items- paypal or venmo for smaller items- zelle or ACH for collecting rent- yelp or taskrabbit for misc repairs- lawnlove for landscaping or snow removal - skype for group meetings- Dropbox for online record storage- google voice for call forwarding - email for all tenant communications - autodraft for all utility & mortgage payments- online payments for all taxes & insurance - google earth to survey neighborhoods for out of town purchases - amazon or HD for online parts ordering The automation & streamlining of low value tasks enable me to preserve time for higher value activities.

It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I want to make my folks proud of what I do with it and grow it into something wonderful to leave my kids someday.

Having a solid foundation is key, adding significant value to every deal allows you to grow,  I would say with your $50K go out and do a rehab and make $30K on a flip so you can add $20K to your $50K  ($10K set aside for taxes) do it a few times so you have a great launching pad and rehab experience for the rentals. dont buy turn key rentals, always buy below value, and push the equity with a rehab, and right now in the market cycle, only buy great deals, marginal deals will burn you when this market changes.

The new account would allow the tax benefits to continue, but the earnings would be used to grow the account rather than generate immediate income for yourself.

Dayton is growing jobs now, not sure Detroit is keeping up in that arena.
