Hey Everyone,I'm starting my first direct mail campaign to hopefully pick up some properties in a small geographic area with about 800 homes.

When sending direct mail is there a requirement to advertise your brokers logo?

Each of the 4 homes i have hit these numbers on have been the product of direct mail, an 1 instagram lead and one of off Craigslist all in the last 12 months.  

Is there a way we could co-sign on a mortgage, or simply have the title to the home in his name and I transfer a potential down payment directly to him?

I know I'm not giving you clear direction there, but thinks it's smart to really be specific on each property based on what it is, where, type of tenants, condition of the place, etc. 

Property taxes are a direct hit on your bottom line.• Low Insurance cost - landlord insurance in Austin is close to $2,000/Yr for a typical 2,000SqFt single family home ($350,000+) vs. about $450/Yr. for a typical 2,000 single family home (<$250,000).

I already have a portion of my paycheck sent directly to a savings account but that of course earns almost nothing with interest.What are some other interest earning options I can do for automatically saving money so I can buy my first deal in the next 12 months?

Sounds reasonable to me IF he is actually going to mentor you and be available and spend time pointing you in the right direction.

So please contact your cpa or tax preparer with direct questions.
