Still nailing down my marketing plan so I can send out some direct mail.  

I have been managing as many as 85 of my rental houses in Northern Calif, for the last 20 years using what my friend Fixer Jay DeCima calls, MANAGING YOUR TENANTS BY MAIL.

Click on the name of the person that you want notified via an email, that you responded to them.

Direct mail is hit or miss in DC. 

If your willing I would love it if you would leave your email address so I could notify when it's up.We first started with a primary property.

A proper follow-up could be as simple as an e-mail thanking him for the discussion and suggesting that you meet-up again over coffee at some point to discuss real estate.

He or she will be notified of being tagged so that the conversation will continue.

Don't miss The BiggerPockets Podcast - they are great for learning how others are finding success.Oh - and be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts- especially for "Philadelphia" so you'll be notified when people mention it here in the forums.Thanks again for introducing yourself!
