I am thinking NO, but I am just double checking. As you can see, I haven't done any commercial sales and need to write a contract, but am not sure if it's the same contract or not. In addition, the franchised real estate company I hang my license with only has "residential" contracts in their database.

Please help me! Thank you very much everyone.

i got it Rob! So 7 mailings in 2 years? YOu know, I think my problem sometimes is i want it all now now now.. I would of thought 7 mailings in 3.5 months would of been ok but realistically, 2 years seems more logical. thanks for that.

Karen - yes if you have more notes please share!

Dale - are you suggesting to attend the actual eviction case @ court itself? I did contact the courthouse directly this morning and ask if theres some sort of list or datrabase of eviction trials but they were unhelpful. What have you done in the past or plan to do in relation to this?

Carl - no question is ever stupid. Yours was borderline though. I'm just kidding =) thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind as I look around.

Rob - how would you suggest to find motivated sellers for those midsized buildings?

hey Johnny - what i am transitioning to is to buy, rehab, hold for 2-3 years and 1031ing them into larger properties. That is what I am trying to transition into from rehabbing single houses.

how do you prospect for owners all day long? when you say you make calls, are you just going down the list or how are you targeting them?

Thanks Johnny

Hey guys,

I'm trying to see how else i can find apartment owners who are motivated and WANT to sell. Something I did was I printed 100 postcards with a generic message of 'saw your apartment, do you want to sell'. I'm going to drive around certain areas i like (by the University for example), mark down distressed looking apartments (present deferred maint. etc) and send out to them and expect a phone call.

How else do you guys find apartments? Thanks for the tips!
