So $1200 later for sanding and I had brand new flooring.

I'm looking to send a letter that is professional because i'm an agent in a smaller town where I'm well known, but I also want to offer to buy their house and suggest there are other options as well.I'm not comfortable doing the typical yellow letter style mailer/postcard, I know many people get results with those but I'm uncomfortable associating my brand and myself with that style of marketing in my small town.I've read on BP many people that have simply sent a professional letter and had great results.  

@Steve Vizvary I recently came across these brand new, no rent control, turnkey optional, off market, duplexes in LA.

Brand new to this website, and am looking to get into investing within the next year or two with my husband.

I recently completed construction on a brand new home (1700 sf) 3 br, 2.5 ba house and want to rent it out.  

I put low repairs since EVERYTHING is brand new (with two years of warranty) and on top of that I've Home Warranty (I pay $33 pm, and tenant is responsible for Service call fees)- I think, I put 8% vacancy rate which is very reasonable.

I am brand new to the RE investing business and just about to begin the plunge, head first into flipping here in Atlanta.

Any of the major brands are decent; go to the store and see which one feels right to you.  

There are many brands and sizes so the actual cost will depend on the sized of your house and how many units and heads are needed.
