My experience with 2 bedroom homes is that people don't stay as long because they grow out of them... higher turnover and potentially higher days on the market because the demand is different.On the flip side... we have a lot of 2 bedroom bungalows in the historic areas here and if you purchase the ones with a lot of attic space, you can create a master suite in a finished loft area.

Not only is the practice a good thing, but in some cases you can use the mixed calls to start building a relationship and start guiding the conversations towards a deal.500 letters to absentee owners is a good start!

I am hoping to meet like minded fellow investors here an hopefully I can give some input while building relationships.

I know the ins and outs of construction, I have a great relationship will a wide variety of trades people and I am pretty handy myself.

We are looking forward to LEARNING & NETWORKING with like-minded individuals while cultivating long-lasting relationships within the industry.
