Spending $4000 a month on rent in the bay area is not helping you build your equity, I think of it all just going down a black hole.

Grey on black is virtually invisible (all black).

For the inside we used black heat resistant paint to contrast to white and the black.

It may look like things are blacked out.

Land is always a grey area, unless it's clearly black and white like down town.

Tenants love the "BLACK MOLD" thing.

Supplies you will need:•2 8½†x 11†pieces of white paper•An 8½†x 11†pad of yellow, lined paper•Black felt tip pen (buy a box)•Copier (Kinko’s)•Number 10 white envelopes or ivory invitation envelopes•Rubber stamp or White labels•Stick-on First Class postage stamps or Pre-Cancelled The “Mary†Letter in DetailSo what is a “Mary†letter exactly?

It has been proven that a yellow sign (yellow letter) with black letters (black font) catches the attention better than any of the other color combinations.

In the packet we would put ways to save your property etc.I only did this for about 3 months before moving on to other things.I still listed short sales but went about it differently.When we door knocked some would appreciate the help.Others we found a tenant that didn't know the property was foreclosing.Once had a Chinese guy drunk walking down the street.He denied he was being foreclosed on and said the government was out to get him.Another guys faced turned dark red and said please leave with his whole body shaking with his fists.One had about 5 pitbulls jumping at the window and I thought they were going to bust through it to get outside.Another was some black dudes with guns and looked like drugs on the table.We just said the property was foreclosing and were glad he didn't have anymore questions or offer for us to come inside.Door knocking in some areas isn't too bad.In others it is VERY dangerous.On the commercial side I just send out letters now.Those were my BRAVE and STUPID days back then!!
