My fiancé and I recently became a new investor march 5,2014 with the aid of an FHA loan with tenants in place.

My partner and I are going into negotiations on a 5 property portfolio this coming weekend, and to prepare for it, we have a detailed "report" with lists of repairs needed, pictures, prices, etc. for each property, that will aid us in justifying our offers on them.

Even at a snails pace you're likely to spend $100-300 per month on paper, printer toner, gasoline, postage, and cell phone minutes, etc.

.$3100- $1600 = $1500 cash flow.I have another 80k saved up and would like to put about 60k towards my next property (leaving 20k for emergency funds, rehabs, personal fund etc.)I have zero debt (no student loans, no car payment) outside of the HELOC I had to purchase the first property I stated above and most of my living expenses are paid by my employer (car, gas, cell phone).I am based out of Central Pennsylvania and am looking to stay somewhat locally for my first few properties (Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Lancaster, Hershey etc.) and am not really interested in out of state investing.Just looking for some advice or input on what you would do next if you were in my situation,Any input and info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

But lead to deal is dictated first by traffic source (like I mentioned above) and then by followup process (calling within 5 mins max and great closing skills), and the website itself aids it by ensuring it has great credibility on the site and builds trust. 

Use a cheap MNVO instead of A, S, T, or V for your cell plan.

Don't be the person that you can see taking a cell phone photo in the bathroom mirror :) Most importantly, reply quickly when people reach out with interest.

The cells need to be filled with rebar and concrete.

Internet and cell service can be spotty in our mountains and more rural areas, so always good to check on that early on in the acquisition process.

Knowing the way will aid you in unimaginable ways when negotiating.
