Congrats! Hanging in there and mailing consistently is the secret. Statistically about 81% of your deals will come at or beyond your 5th mailing. Most people quit mailing at or before the 3rd mailing. You want to be the “last man standing”. @James Perdoma.
Congrats @James Perdomo! Can you provide more details? What are the numbers? ARV? estimated repair costs? How will you pay for repairs? Do you have contractors lined up? How long do you expect the flip to take?
@Watson Hilaire PP 100k Repairs 22k ARV 185K. We're paying for repairs with a company credit card. We have the cash in hand and also have the draw money from the HML. Contractors are already working. We anticipate to be out by september.

I had an ad in the chron selling properties 365 days a year.. for oh at least 5 to 7 years.. and I suspect this other guy was there for decades.
@James Perdomo Have you considered mixing in a new list for your ongoing campaigns for your next properties? There are some new owner occupied motivated seller lists.
@James Perdomo Congratulations on your Deal. This just shows that with persistence and realizing that real estate is a numbers game anything is possible.
