I have recently been contracting a good bit of Subject To deals, but have been having a hard time finding other investors who were willing to pick them up.  

If it was on the rolls for 800k, your taxable value would be 800k(Somewhat less than a 25% reduction).Be very aware however that even simple tax laws can become complex because different ones apply in different circumstances.

I have about $60k in equity right now, and my simple plan was to just steadily pay this property down before selling it using a 1031 exchange to move into a bigger property in a dozen years or so(I'm not trying to build an empire, just pretty casually live-in renting/house hacking my way to retirement and don't think I would ever want more than 3 properties).

So the gist of it is that I'm flipping my clients a home that they pick and getting them off the sidelines.Thoughts?

A simple fence, keyed access, a logo and a name can go a long way to define the area for your buyers.  

If you're trying to keep it simple, I would open it in MA.

Has anyone experimented with direct mail to Multi-family apartment owners as to which has a better response rate: typical yellow letter simple postcards or more formal appearing letters?  

To keep it simple Liquid Cash (Down Payment + Reserves )Credit Score / Credit history Depending on the size of the deal Net-worth comes into play Experience Background check 

You just have to pick and choose a few methods based on your personality and try them out.

I was wondering if it’d be better for me to put out 25 signs a week and just leave them out there or put out 50-75 signs on a Friday and pick them up on a Sunday night?
