Throw yourself into the situation. You'll never know enough to get started. There will always be an avenue, area of study, or something that will hold you back no matter how much you know. Take the leap and learn as you go. Just be sure to always have your attorney in your back pocket. Ensure you are abiding by the law, and take the jump

The most successful way I have built my list is by mass messaging each individual in your local REI facebook groups. You can do around 30-50 messages a day and should be able to grow your buyers list fairly quickly. I have been doing this method for around a month (not super consistently) but easily have over 200 in my list

Hey Jason, I try to simplify the math. Really I just use the 70% rule. 

What are you more concerned about? The price you take it under contract, or the price you assign?

You just do it. Take action. The more you think and analyze, the harder it'll be

Consistency. Stick to one source of marketing (direct mail, cold calling, voicemail drop, etc.) and CRUSH IT. Own that marketing channel in your market. Mail should go out every week, call every day, etc. Also contact your leads more than just once, preferably 5-6 times. Then move in or out of your lead list

Comps are pretty easy. Just use data from zillow or redfin. Look under "recently sold" and make adjustments as needed. Also try to take into consideration the homes currently for sale if possible

What is the point of this post?

Unclear about the detail. But I know RBC has a cross-border bank for Canadians into the US and will likely provide lending. 

Hey Michael,

I'm super surprised no Charlotte Realtor has jumped on this post yet. There's ALOT of them on BP and usually they're super hungry. That looks like a great buy. I know the Charlotte market, but not that particular neighborhood. Just from brief research you'll probably be able to get around 170-180 for it. Let me know if you wanna talk more about it

Hey Hannah,

You can use listsource to get a list of all the MFH in your area, then you can skiptrace them to get the phone numbers of the owners. Or you can just send letters to the mailing addresses (not the property addresses). I get my lists at a discount but I think you can get them around 15 cents a hit.
