She works with investors in SE Michigan and may be able to help.

Depends on how much I needed.

Hi Michael. My wife and I moved here just over a year ago from Mi and we love it. Welcome. You're in luck because the local reia is meeting in Cary today at 6pm. Check it out. http://www.treia.com/Events.aspx?ID=TREIA-South-15-5-6-2014

I've had luck using Angies List. It's relatively inexpensive and I've found some quality roofers, electricians, plumbers, painters and handymen.

I don't use craigslist and homeadvisor anymore. Had real bad results using those.

Finding a contractor at a REIA has been hit or miss. Since a good contractor is like gold, I haven't found rehabbers willing to share.

Say good bye, You dont need the headaches.

Dump your agent and surround yourself with people that will help you accomplish your goals.

Rentals here typically get a 1% yield. So if they rent for $600 sell for $60k each. Head to a TREIA meeting and network. Someone is bound to be interested.

Interesting @Bryan H. Do you mind sharing the letter either here on BP or via a private message or email? Would love to take a look at it, if possible.

I got a letter in the mail today, handwritten name and address from someone in MI. As soon as I opened it, I knew exactly what it was without even reading it.

I was in MI a while back and attended a MREI meeting in Troy, where Robyn Thompson was selling her programs. During the education part, she talked about her absentee letters and how she uses a horse water mark on the paper to produce results. Well the person who sent me the letter must have purchased her program, but decided to use a couple deer instead.

And since we received it, I can now see how some people get freaked out. My wife was asking me questions like, 'how do they know we don't live there?' , 'how do they know our address in NC?', 'we aren't selling the house, are we?'

I'm considering calling him and letting him know to add me to his buyers list.

Hire a professional floor finisher. I've had floors refinished for $1.85/sf. May be more for your mess, but it's not a DIY job
