In my opinion, 1,000 names mailed to monthly will produce a deal or two, but it is way to often to mail such a small list.The first thing to do when deciding you are going to go the marketing route, is to figure out how much money you can comfortably flush down the toilet every week and you won't lose sleep over it.

He has approached my realtor for any knowledge she has of other SFRs (none and she is a top producing agent in the County).

As long as you can afford the cash flow scenario comfortably, it would be great to hold for a few more years while the market continues to recover.I see the reasons for keeping as: you have an interesting revolving door of tenants, a Class A property where your quickly paying down your principle, great area of town, and you're young.If you need more income, then you should sell and turn your equity into a better cash producing portfolio.Great start to your investing career!

I'm beginning to look at homes for my first investment property and have a few questions..I've liked 2 of the properties that I've looked at so far.. one is a duplex that could produce about ~1300ish in rental income and costs 120k and the other is a quadplex that could bring in 2300 and costs 154k(rental estimates are if all the units were rented..

Most likely it was family and they would have had to produce some type of identification.
