Mail is a good proactive approach to reach people who aren't yet actively searching for a way to sell their home. 

Bottom line, I decided to take a lower variance approach and went to contract on a Townhouse today. 

I have had numerous 'deals' brought to me that had overlooked (obvious) problems that blew the budget, pricetags that were too high to begin with. 

First time researching probates in Maryland, what is the best approach so I won't have to be here all day searching through random estate information.

One of them brought up that some of the caulking in their bathtub is cracked and could start having mold at some point.

My local real estate investing mentor has said he personally knows the owner and that he’s a truthful and honest guy and wouldn’t be making up any lies about what he previously brought in.

I have an equity partner that brought all of down payment to the table and the debt is funded by the previous owner of the property.

When you run the numbers on a 3 family, it is hard to simply approach it with commonly discussed strategies, such as BRRRR, when everyone seems to think that they're building is worth over 120k per unit.

Thanks Chase for the follow up.This is a deal brought to me by a agent who wants to partner with mtypo e.

@Matt Crawford, the partner approach is always a nice one...when you have the right partner.
