When I was starting out I found that an ad in my local newspaper, and simple biz cards with my cell phone on it was the most effective.

I believe most people calculate ROI in the 1st year based on how much cash flow they recieved / amount of money invested, but it does not take into account any equity gained.To get your IRR, you will have to setup cells that report net cash flow (including equity gain) such that each cell has the the net cash flow listed for that period.

I am lucky if I can read the names on the lease (sometimes they are handwritten) and sometimes the seller gives us tenant cell phone numbers at closing.Certified Rent Roll w/ security deposits- I have never received theseYear's Worth of Water/Utility Bills- I simply call the utility companies when we are considering a property to get the average bill over the last year.  

Jason, give me a call, my cell is below.  

I found his logic persuasive myself, but it would concern me to have so many eggs in one basket when conventional wisdom tells us to have financial diversification.

Had no cell phone.

I would recommend Anita to any prospective landlord and if I ever have a unit available that meets her needs I would be happy to rent to her again.If you have any further questions about Anita feel free to contact me on my cell phone (XXX)XXX-XXXXNicholas Miller"Every Word of this letter is true BUT will it help my former tenant?  

Most cell phones can handles this, but it's not enjoyable to look at a tiny phone screen for hours a day!

I don't count my chickens before they hatch but want to get my eggs in a row.
