I'd LOVE to see articles similar to this for further motivation and idea generation.I suppose I'm tired of seeing the same articles that provide general advice about saving, building a portfolio, the 5 steps to quit your job, the 6 steps to become a real estate investor, the 7 steps to wholesale your first deal, how to raise private money, etc. etc.

Project is almost complete, and I am way pass tired and stressed (LOL).

I get just so tired of all the people giving advice when they themselves don't have it remotely figured out yet.ARV= $183KWe offered $11KNeighbor offered her $40KShe took our offer...And had to bring $70K to the closing table to square remaining mortgage.If you don't get how this is even possible... now you know what your problem is...

Again, this is an average:Yellow Letters- average response rate of 8%-9%, all kinds of calls (angry calls, curious calls, tire-kickers, quality calls)Postcards- average response rate of .5%, mostly quality calls.Zip Letters- average response rate of 2%, mostly quality calls.

It'll help weed out the tire kickers and no shows. 

In essence, we'd be buying a vacation rental that the owner was tired of and wanted to cash out.

Absentee owners that might sell to you are "tired landlords" and heirs of properties, etc.  

The reason I got it was to have access to MLS and maybe do the occasional listing that I came across while looking for investment properties.However, I'm already tired of having to have everything I do checked by my broker.
