I agree with Scott, I think before you spend money on leads you should grow organically and get some more "at bats" at being a property manager full-time and build out some processes.

For starters, I'd recommend only mailing to people you've confirmed to be the property owner.

I'd like to both appreciate and cashflow, and by going with a huge down payment, I think I can do it, even in Southern California.BTW, I am a newbie, kind of fell *** backwards into my current situation, and would like to grow my inadvertant good fortune.

I agree with @Jonathan Greene that it may not be worth the hassle if this is the only time you're going to do a direct booking, but I would recommend trying to get more direct bookings. 

It is hard to get enough cash to get started here in California, so I am looking to grow my capital through wholesale and fix/flip.

Anyone have recommendations on local lenders in Philadelphia for a LTR in the city?  

Any recommendations and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

My mom always told us stories about her vacationing in Ocean City with her family growing up... so cool!

In our area of Seattle it's typically provided by the landlord and wanted to learn from the BP community what you'd recommend I do as a new landlord in Texas getting our investment ready for applicants

cash Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
