@Lourdemir Aime If the seller is not motivated to start with, then you're pushing a rope and that seldom works.

I have been reading forums to get some ideas as to how to find a mailing list, what letters to send out, how to measure response, follow up.

I am a new investor located in the greater area of Baltimore md, within the upcoming weeks I will launch a series of campaigns aimed towards lifting my company off the ground and into the wholesaling market so this post is directed towards all experienced investors who's put properties under contracts and successfully closed with a profit, any beginner tips??

I would aim for a card per month after you are approved for the second, until you get 4-5 this will build you up about as fast as possible for a great credit score.6.)

So if you invest in low income areas in Atlanta, school ratings won't be an accurate measurement of desirability for the tenant. 

I didn't have a tape measure with me (I normally do, but that one time I didn't) and when I paced it I think it's like 10'X10', both rooms.That seems too small, I am picturing a queen size bed being tight with one or two night stands.Is there a minimum room size renters consider when selecting a rental? 

However, as the time passed and I educated myself more, I realized that real estate investment and management is the right career path for me.Now I am aiming to get back into the industry through property management as I find that to be a quite interesting profession, for which quality firms are allegedly difficult to find (I say this through my own experience and through reading BP and listening to the podcasts).  

Locks don't deter thieves as much as keeping honest people honest, your measures should first at least require more serious illegal acts that carried penalties more than just trespassing.Automatic gates can be a PITA, they do break or misalign, it's a mechanical thing.
