Hi Detrik,
Let me know when you come to town and we can grab coffee. I'm in Tacoma and am an investor and agent. I can help you pull comps, get ARV or show properties for you. We have a small group that meets once per month or so too and I can connect you with that Tacoma group.

Congrats on what appears to be a great deal. I have buyers if you want to wholesale that. I'm in Tacoma too. If you ever need comps, ARV for this area or want me to find you some off market deals let me know.

Hi Antonio,
I am in the Tacoma area. I'm an agent and I work with investors. Let me know if you need ARV values, pull comps, make lots of offers, or to go see properties. Lots of opportunity here. Hit me up when you get to town.

I usually take a blank piece of paper and put a yellow piece under it so I can see the lines thru the white paper. Then I write one letter on the white one. I then put the white one in the scanner and tear off all the yellow ones from a notepad and print away. After some adjusting of the white sheet in the scanner you can get the text to line up with the lines on the yellow sheets. I do take time to hand write the envelopes in red ink and sometimes pay my daughter to do that. I don't worry about customizing the address; I just use the same letter and talk about their property in Pierce County or where every I'm targeting.

There's a guy I know who can get these out the door for around $69 cents each with postage. If I'm doing more than 200 at a time I will use him. PM me if you want his contact info. He uses a handwritten font on computer and can mail merge the actual address into the letter.

In Washington I get my lists from a title company. I can request exactly what I want: absentees that are out of state, owned for 10 years or more, in the value range of $200K - $400K. It cost me $2.00 for 1500 addresses. I opted for getting labels to and they sent that to me for an extra $8.00.

I found Alcorn's Dealmakers Guide on ebay for $80. It is one of the best I have ever read. Extremely knowledgable and no pie in the sky fluff. He is the real deal.

The book "Inbound Marketing" was an eye opener for me.

Dave, I'm just a landlord with five units right now. Jon is right that you are buying a job with some of this but a small apartment building, close by with a good manager in place can be manageable with a day job. I manage my own units, but if I started to get than about 8 I would get a manager. In Tacoma prices are good, there is a lot of military and economy is stable so I believe rents will remain high. I have always had good luck with military tenants.

And I would highly recommend investing locally and NOT out of state.
