So, the best thing to do, is make sure you get the list in an excel format, so that you can speed up the time to sort and scrub the data. 

Both make 6x the rental rate and both have excellent references.

Here are my stats:Primary House: $610/ (mortgage) + $385/ (taxes/insurance)-Home Value: $160k, Balance: $65k-15 yr loan, 2.9%Rental House: $400/ (mortgage) + $350/ (taxes/insurance) <- no escrow-Home Value: $130k, Balance: $75k-30 yr loan, 4.5%-Rent: $1500/ (have only received 1 months rent so far)My husband and I bring home $6750/ and have excellent credit.

We also have an excellent Blog, where we cover all things real estate investing, plus general investing and personal finance.

We have excellent credit, so financing through a bank would be possible (as scary as a second mortgage sounds right now).

Nonetheless, I'm a strong believer that a market like the Bay Area, namely SF, will always be an excellent long term hold investment if it wasn't for the almost certain appreciation alone.

I have found this way to be an excellent incentive to get rents paid on time.

Those are simple formulas that can be put into excel.3.

I've also used the shellac based Kiltz (often used to cover smoke damage after a fire) with excellent results. 

When I purchase my list from list source and download it to an excel sheet, how do I get all the addresses printed on my postcards?
