Dare I ask if you profile your prospective tenants?
What are the best tenants you have found?
Race, Age, Income, Etc.? (Yes, I know you're not suppose to.)
From my experience, dual income, blue collar family with kid...

Hi Folks.
I have been marketing here in Phoenix for the last 2 months (700 yellow letters to Absen-owner list both months) and I have experienced response rates of 1% maybe 2%.
I've been away from wholesaling since...

Is there other ways to find wholesale properties besides driving around, yellow letters and bandit signs?
I was reading an older thread and Will and others suggested granite countertops for rentals and flips. I'm going to be putting in a new kitchen and am considering what to put in for a personal residence. The propert...

I read an article claiming that the Kitchen and Bathrooms on rentals should be the two places that should really grab your potential tenants attention.
I would like some advice or misconceptions on this, if youve hea...

I’ve been driving for dollars and have a few properties and several areas I’d like to invest in. Does anyone have any sample letters or have any ideas of what my first mailer should look or read like? Thanks so much!

I have a house I plan on rehabbing and the roof color doesn't go well with the rest of the house. The asphalt shingles are in good shape, so rather than replacing, I have been researching painting them. There's a va...

I see a lot of folks looking through rosy-eyed glasses lately. When the all the stimulus, forbearance, eviction moratorium, etc. goes away, reality takes hold. My market opinion has been an unpopular one but I still c...
