Also, if you've had a broker's open you can call the agents who've left cards and ask them for honest feedback on why their clients aren't writing offers or why they think the home hasn't sold.

I funded with a HELOC, but could have used a hard money loan and credit cards.

But, those post cards seem small and cheap to mail to an apartment owner.

So I kicked the habit - I stopped going to seminars and started to apply some of those ideas that were preached by speakers who were experts at extracting fees from me.I started to attend real estate auctions, studying the process - watching others make a lot of money - I decided to get a credit line - increase my credit card limits and started looking for properties (cheap- ugly buildings) in the neighborhood where real estate auctions were taking place - my primary goal at this time was to learn the market in the area where I wanted to control real estate - I would look at 50-60 houses (but made no offers - when agents would try to qualify me I just said "I have a small inheritance and will not need financing) - I kept a journal of the price per square foot,  comparing properties, and all comments made by sellers and agents (this helped me to find the seller dominate selling motive),  that was helpful - but I soon discovered that I was just looking for real estate in the conventional way  - I needed to do something else - so I started to look for owners of real estate who had problems (I applied Power Prospecting formulas) and at the same time studying creative real estate techniques from the old masters in the industry - became a member of the Washington Real Estate Exchange, hosted a real estate investor club and started to give mini creative financing seminars  while networking with those I wanted to emulate.

I was thinking (in my dream world) I would like my proposed employee to eventially become as self sufficiant as a PM company.

I would give her my business card and let her know you are available if she needs anything.

I read a previous post where the borrower was promised 100% financing after paying $3000 and was given a list of Credit Cards to apply for that had 0% interest for the first 12 months or so.

Good or bad idea, and where would I look to get qualified for high credit limit and low fee cards?
