The big banks don't work for us investors (unless you have hundreds of units and you are consolidating into giant commercial mortgages).

Although we do generally see that the giant ~1million cabins don’t end up being self managed.

In those parts of KC, you may as well be erecting a billboard with a giant neon arrow pointing to your house that says "FREE STUFF HERE!!".

House shopping between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the best time because most people are in holiday mode so you can get a better deal than spring shopping.Keep your mortgage and take out a HELOC.

First one is a basic intro (we buy houses, want to buy 2 in your town this spring, selling direct is great for X reasons, let me know if you want an offer), second one highlights what type of sellers typically like to sell to investors (own timeline, no hassle, house needs repairs etc), third mailing is a simple postcard that has similar message on it, fourth mailing is a letter saying I've reached out before and thought you might find these FAQs useful (and I include a 4 pg FAQ distilled from my website)-- I expected that letter to have more response (you'll see above the 4th mailing had a <1% response rate) and it may be that ppl are waiting til after Easter to call, as I get more calls after holidays when ppl have had time to talk to their family.How to track all of this... you can guess by now that I'm super data oriented.

Otherwise you'll be in for some giant headaches.

let me start with happy holidays to all, I'm going with a new HML on a flip my original appraisal was $375.00 the lender needs the appraisal recertified and the appraiser wants $285.00 to do it, is this a fair price for something like this. thank you

We meet upstairs in the Camp Hill Giant right off of 15 and I-283.  

If it was a giant tree that I couldn't take care of personally with my saw, I would hire it out.

Does real estate investing ever seem like a giant pyramid scheme to anyone else?
