Hello, I am beginning my journey as a wholesaler, and I am starting to realize that direct mail is one of the major ways to get leads.

The majority of my banking is with the local credit union, but other banking is with Wells Fargo and a regional bank.

That is not me, I am a real estate professional however proving it requires being an Ivy league experienced lawyer.

From my experience a good majority of investors are contractors or people who work in the construction field.Your goal should be to be friends with people who do rehab work on the side on flips renovations, that way you can work with them to 1 Get more income and 2 Meet directly with the investor and form a relationship.Good luck man!

Apply for a credit card from a major bank.

Most units are on a month to month lease and the majority of the tenants have been there anywhere from five to fifteen years. 

Basically it is for a home that the (adult) children of the owner are looking to have major updates made to it prior to listing it. 

Pure numbers don't look bad....And maybe look at some details like property condition (so no major outlays early for capital projects), your home base makes me think college, so are these empty each summer or is there mass competition for students (which can be management challenges).

I haven't tried it, as I've never done a major rehab yet, but I've found most info on this site to be quite helpful so it's probably worth a shot.
