I am in need of some help from my fellow BP members.
I am structuring my marketing materials for my new strategy of buying Castles to rehab flip as well as wholesale.
Should I state in my marketing materials that I buy castles only with draw bridges or should I keep my options open to buying all different types of castles, including those with King and Queen occupants?
Please help Chris Weiler / James Vermillion / Jake Kucheck / Jon K. / J Scott /

No offense gents but I know you are new to the castle acquisition process, but not to worry, my course will be out shortly: "Being King: How to Own More Castles Than The British Royal Family". The key to making smart castle investments is knowing your rehab costs Will...I mean I can walk through a castle and estimate the cost of flaming arrow removal, 1600s exterior wall repair, and moat excavation down to the 1/8 ounce of diamond...can you? If not, you are not ready for the royal mistake (pun intended) that you are about to make. But that can change, because for just $26,199 I will mentor you through the whole process and only ask that you pay me 40% percent of your future profits...what a deal! And if I think you a good enough I may let you join my company's board aka the roundtable! So what ate you waiting for? Get out there, strap on you armour, get on your horse and ride with me to prosperity! We can even host weddings at these places...booyah!
As far as tenants go be very careful...eviction costs can very expensive and Old English Law can be very complex.

1. Price to be dependent on size of moat.
2. All moat creatures to remain with moat.
3. Knight suits are encouraged to have someone hiding in them, but we will consider vacant suits!!!
4. We love dragons! $1000 bonus for fire breathing breeds!
5. Castle walls not up to code? No problem! We will pay to have all walls built to current standards of 125 ft.

Will Barnard must have a monopoly on the population of asset managers who have to dispose of all the foreclosed castles around the country. Pretty tremendous contacts you've got there!

J Scott - Unfortunately, due to my experience of previous flipping and all the millions I have made, I can only offer you 40% split on that, can you lend me $50k for the EMD, I am a bit short of cash right now as I have spent all my millions on decorating my other castles, plus I added some new windows too.
Jake Kucheck - While I do have a leg up on everyone else for my asset managers on castles, I am trying to get other motivated castle seller leads and need some help on those marketing materials.

Can I post here?
I will try it. Anytime if I hear "castle" in the US I must laugh but now I found the right one for you Will. Here is your new flip castle, sits in Germany for only 390k Euro you will be the owner with small lake nearby.
If you want it there is no problem to set the shipping to the US seller said. Let me see ... hmmm only $25 million will be the freight include the lake water.
If you take it there will be a present a young and nice damsel is included in price. Let me know if you interested.

Wait.... feudal serf's come with.... that's going to add value. Low cost labor is going to have to be calculated into the rehab costs, but also added to the NOI.

Okay Will, here is my super secret, magic bullet, never fail marketing piece. You've heard of the yellow letter I'm sure, but this will even blow away Michael Quarels best piece. I call it the the Golden letter, good for going after any castle, anywhere, in any condition.
Dear «Lord or Lady»,«Fiefdom»
I’m new to this area, and I’ve always wanted to buy a castle. Have you ever considered selling «castle_Address»? Let’s parley about it!
Please take a few minutes and give me a call. Leave a quick message with your name, number, and any fortified property address you’re able to sell. That way I can look up a few records and be ready when I call. To be honest, there are a few others I’m interested in., so call quick and get your offer now.
When it all works out right, I can close pretty fast, and I don't mean the drawbridge.
Thanks Sir «Feifdom» looking forward to it.
God Bless the «Reigning Sovereign»
HMMMMM Doesn't look quite so golden here...Maybe 'cuz it's not in my genuine imitation handwriting font. But feel free to use it!!

Justin S. - I know you read the other thread as you responded in it. This is not a bash on a person, just the comedy of the thread being continued. We work hard and as such, playing hard is a nice relief.
