Hello @Jonathan Makovsky and @Gregory Bennett 

Hope to see you two next week. 

@Hattie Dizmond thanks for the info. I'm working on all of these. Just downloaded the ebook  and the podcast is loading on my iPod as I type.

@Craig Bellot thanks! I'm working on this as aggressively as possible to get ahead of that wave.

@Elizabeth Colegrove Full time jobs AND self managing properties all over the United States, you guys must have an awesome system.

Partnering with a seller is an interesting concept, how would that work?  In this example of a $50k purchase prices and 1/2 the profit: would you split the profit after your rehab costs?  So for example $20k rehab costs, you sell for $100k - are you splitting $30k with the seller? 

@Franklin Romine I would say if you have 400 out of 1500 done, don't wait MAIL THEM!  Every day you wait is a day someone else's yellow letter can end up in their mailbox.  My husband and I would sit down in the evening and do as many as we could daily and mail them out the next morning.  Time is money in this business and depending on your market it could mean a lot of money.

Welcome @Siddiq Sweet, look forward to interacting with you.

Welcome @Paul Haughton 

How is the real estate investing market in eastern CT?  I know it's not a densely populate as western CT but that doesn't necessarily mean the market isn't good - just curious?  Are you dealing more with single families or multi?

Welcome @Robert Murphy!  That seems like a nice market to get into (college housing) especially here in CT.  Seems like there's a lot of risk in that.  I remember what went on at the off campus houses when I was in college.  How do you account for that risk?

Look forward to interacting with you.

Hello BP!  My name is Shvonne Craig and I'm from Ansonia, CT.  I've been taking action in real estate since about June 2014.  A couple months before that I was just soaking up information and then my husband and I decided to take the plunge.  We've been real estate investing part time while we still maintain our regular non-real estate jobs.

Since about June we've been working on wholesaling our first deal.  We've been talking to sellers but nothing has panned out yet.  We ultimately want to get a group of properties to create a nice stream of income for us and fix & flip.  Right now we don't have the credit or cash reserves so we are looking to build our cash reserve and learn more about creative financing.
