My husband and I started to work in the house to make it look great again and finally rent it, but now that it is almost finished and ready to be rented the 4 apartments, the city didn't give me the permission to have 4 electric meters because they say that the house and the land don't have the enough required size for the new codes to be divided in 4 apartments , so they only gave me the permission for 2 electric meters, and this is a problem because the house is completely divided in 4 units with kitchens and bathrooms etc..  

It seems like most investors around the sight like to see at least $150-$200 per door per month in cashflow.

For example, if I were to remove a window and put in a new patio door and it cost me $450 I could have it be a expense even though it would be clearly a capital expenditure.

I've recently gotten much bolder in my attempts, and I've actually started knocking on some doors.  

Rather than starting with direct mail, consider starting with door knocking.

Im in Delaware needing some help, to get my foot in the door with Investing.

Why aren't more people signing up with a local bank that can do portfolio loans, has a commercial lending department and they know who you are when you walk in the front door? 

I'm trying to get my foot in the door as well.

The whole reason for this was to make him some money but he is mad that I opted to refinish the nice maple hardwood instead of throwing carpet back in, and I had to completely remodel 2 bathrooms and I replaced lath and plaster with Sheetrock where he wanted to just mud the cracks.

Also, I suggest you have a good message to leave on voicemail and a different one for 3rd parties who will likely mess up your message when passing along to your target.When able, door knock.
