@Guy Olds hi nice to meet you, I heard about that meet from my agent we will be attending for sure, we're planning on launching Jan 1st we will definitely exchange cards because we are cash buyers looking for fix and flips.

Readers here should be well aware of of the benefits afforded to real estate that effectively shield all earnings from taxes in the early years of a new property.And finally, tax-free distributions through refinancing.............for these and many other reasons real estate should be a meaningful portion of most anyone's investment portfolio.

I believe this is my first post on Biggerpockets.I have been to say the least, a silent observer/reader for the previous 2 years, attending few RE conferences and reading tons of books.

Hey everyone,I'm about to send out my first round of direct mail postcards to my target list, but I have one question before i go to the print/mail shop to give them my order.What does everyone put on the "b" side of ...

Credit Cards, Cars, etc. 

I finally got serious and mailed out about 250 post cards this week.

@Suetuko Emem Ekpo-Ufot Watch for the return cards and update you list as soon as you get them back. 

The initial payment took 5-7 days only I believe because the tenant paid with a debit card.

With cash payment, we provide tenants with a deposit only bank card and it is their responsibility to deposit their rent via ATM or at a teller.

Making mailings is one way to find good deals, but the return on a mailing is very low and expensive.Doing a mailing campaign is a passive way to market for deals - If you want to accelerate your potential to make money in this business, I would suggest using active marketing ---Farming - looking for vacant, ugly houses - tracking down the sellers - make an offerSit in your local rent and housing court - no body wants to be there - great place to find burned out landlords who will be glad to discount their property to youExpired listing - these are sellers who have a property that did not sell - you can make their dream of selling a realality and profit at the same timeRather than licking stamps, designing silly yellow letters or post cards, stuffing envelops, buying postage, running to the post office or sitting home waiting for the phone to ring -- you'd be lot more successful by entering your market and doing peo-active marketing for the gold nuggets you are seeking.
