Now, with a $2K budget, you should get leads, but let's be realistic - your phone will not ring off the hook, especially in the first few months (you'll be killing it if you get more than 20 calls/month at the beginning).

The letter arrived at the owners mail boxes last Thursday and the phone started to ring immediately, twelve calls on the first day.After listening to a couple rude massages i started to find some nice people to talk numbers with, but no motivated sellers.This afternoon i received a call from a very nice lady saying the she actually needs to sell not only one property but two.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open and if something comes up, I'll send them your way!

Do you know how many Japanese/ Chinese restaurants (competition) in a 3 mile ring radius?

Being out of state you need dependable people but also ones that you can trust to be your eyes and ears.... and honest.You're also going to need a GOOD banker, not just some broker who is "investor-friendly".

I would have to wait years to make 1,000 dollars off this deal.If you have experience in this field and would love to chat, I am all ears.

Your time is at a premium.If this all rings true, buy a property FROM a wholesaler.

If you and your agent were discussing it in ear shot of them, you are both at fault.

"But I would say for the most part, it probably rings true that it's cheaper than the United States."

You need to take consistent focused action every day, answer the phone when it rings and follow up and follow through
