We’re looking for a few real estate agents in Grand Rapids to fill a couple openings, so if you’re an agent I’d love to talk with you to see if you’d be a fit to start working with the investor leads generated by Biggerpockets.I was an agent in the program in Nashville for a little over a year, received over 350 leads which resulted in over $200k in commissions.

So I decided to create a basic formula with a "decision engine" so I didn't have to make a random guess, but rather make the decision based on what the data shows every time I am faced with the decision to repair or replace.I am sure other landlords are faced with the same decisions, so I thought it might be helpful if I shared the spreadsheet I came up with.

So quick background, I'm a commercial GC, in the industry for about 10+ years now, so I understand the industry from a larger scale, not much overlap into small residential, but have been looking to get into RE investing to generate some long term wealth via the BRRRR method, get a little cashflow in the meantime, start relatively small, and scale right into a kush, early retirement.

A hand written letter has a feel that you are "just some guy", a random buyer that wants to buy your house.

., 18%+) then it means they are generating most of the return on the sale which is something you’ll need to scrutinize more closely.

Locals will see the value you have added to the property and they could simply say you're impeding a public right of way or that you paid your yearly canon late/jack up your canon to a ridiculous price or something random like that to find a way to cancel your lease and take the property.

All depends on how effectively you can deploy capital - if you can generate higher returns taking the price hit into account, then go for it.

However that being said they sell for a lot more because they generate. 

@Sergio Jordan Manzo I agree with @Bruce Lynn,ie work on your income generation.

When it comes to generating your own leads, it is a numbers game (as most things in RE) so being consistent and persistent with the follow up will make it more likely that you will find a deal.
