I'm in the process of having my tenants switch from mailing checks each month to using Sparkrent, based on feedback I've read on other posts around BP as well.

You are still going to mail a check every month.I assume the hard money loan is a short-term loan which is why you need to replace it.

You must also mail registered/certified court forms to the tenants to arrive approx 5 days prior to the court date. 5.

What I meant about using wholesaling techniques is, direct mail, or a web site to attract sellers and find deals, outside of the MLS.  

Beyond the minimal amount needed for long term living security, I personally find it distasteful that people buy so much junk. 

I was thinking of doing a yellow letter campaign locally (Edmonton) but there is no service like listsource here, so am wondering I would get a mailing list here.

You'd be suprised how many peoiple want free stuff - even if you think it's junk.

I've talked with a couple over the phone and via e-mail over the past few months and have an in person meeting set up with one of them next week.

What are you using for the return addresses on direct mail?

I received a letter in the mail from the City of Ft Worth Board of Adjustment notifying me that a neighboring property to my rental is scheduled to appear at this month's meeting of the Board.
