Consistent rent 10 days late from a good tenant who cares about the property is better than rolling the dice on a new tenant...If you approach them politely and respectfully, you may be able to avoid the choice between 1 and 2 altogether. 

Especially if you would be consistent business and have potential for growth (both are very attractive to an ambitious GC).  

To be consistently successful you should expect to invest at least 2,000 hours in your learning/do to begin to get deals.

The main thing is to stay consistent in your marketing.

I've mailed to absentee and owner occupant, and my deals have come from both.Your frequency - You will get deals off of your first mailing, but I've read in a few places and heard on podcasts that more deals will come from consistent subsequent mailings to the same list. 

I think I am going to use this to study, it shows results immediately so once i am consistently getting 85% or above, i will go take the exam.

I must say MrLandlord.com's credit checking has made our decision process much more reliable and consistent.  

Thus was a tough pill to swallow but it was a lesson learned.

I guess there are some parallels though.Mindset  as far as being consistent and following a schedule - maybe, but results definitely not.

There is no magic pill, if credits of any kind are credited to a sale price it is a financing agreement
