Giving thanks in all situations. Thanks for the help.
Even though you didn't estimate your numbers right, look on the bright side, you're still projected to make a profit. That's big! Usually, when somebody says they didn't get their numbers right, they lose big.
Much success to you!

Hi terry,
I'm going to save you $95 bucks. Go to Walmart and pay $2.00 for a white windshied marker, you know those markers that people use to put "Just Married" or "Just Graduated" on their cars, and write "I BUY HOUSES CASH" and your phone number on the back and two back side windows. Then drive during rush hour and go to pro games or any event that attracts a 40 plus crowd. I guarantee you will get plenty of calls. This is how I am getting all of my deals. Check one of my previous post for pictures. Try it for one week. Good Luck
Didn't think of that. I like that approach. I know you're getting a great return on you marketing investment.

Thanks for your response!! I will keep the percentage of 20 - 25% in mind when coming across deals such as this. Also what does IMO mean?
IMO = In my opinion
IMHO = In my humble opinion
Hope you are able to pin down all the real numbers and, make this deal work!
