Come check out the wealth of knowledge that will help you with your marketing for your real estate investing. Many entries have tips on direct mail and how they use it to scale up their businesses.

@Robin Shelley

Hey a lot of people are giving you good advice but you're taking it the wrong way. If buying properties was as easy as plugging in a few numbers on a spreadsheet, everyone would be rich. It's understanding the assumptions behind the numbers thoroughly and being able to manage the difficult situations that will inevitably arise that you weren't aware of that will make the deal a winning one. 

If you don't know what a T12 is and you have the cash to buy a 400 unit commercial and want to consider converting it to Section 8, you need to realize how much of a high risk endeavor that is before committing that type of capital.

Education is more than asking a few questions a BP. Due diligence will save you when you realize how fake pro forma numbers usually are. 

Best of luck.

If you analyze the real estate cycle and compare it to the stock market cycle as a whole, real estate generally corrects about 6-12 months later when there is a significant turn in the stock market. Right now, it could still be a dip. If it's more than a dip and we truly enter a bear market, then you should keep some dry powder to pick up real estate when it goes on sale 12+ months from now.

Rents will only go down slightly as real estate drops so that's no big deal unless you're barely breaking even, but if you are, then you're banking on appreciation not cash flow...

@Dave Rav

As we get later in this real estate cycle, it gets more competitive. Split testing different approaches is important but also doing things in a scalable and efficient way. Mailing 100 pieces of mailings or putting up a few bandit signs in a competitive market isn't going to work because there are people doing 10x that, and multiple people at that for competitive markets.

You can do first class mailing without a stamp. Our margins are razor thin.

If you're thinking about starting direct mail and you need some help getting started, I can provide guidance. I can send you a free game plan, checklist of things to prepare to increase your chances of success, scripts on how to talk to different types of sellers, free software to use for your real estate investing including CRM, templates for your direct mail, contracts, calculators, you name it and answer questions. Just shoot me a message with your status on where you are in the process.

This is F-R-E-E - but when you pull down that first 5 figure deal you should buy me a meal or give me a shoutout.

I've been helping many new wholesalers and flippers start or increase their deal flow. Just shoot me a message or email with your background and status on where you're at in your education process and I'm happy to mentor as I have some pretty awesome mentors myself and love to give back.
