@Paul Timmins, I appreciate all your tips.

Thanks for the tips guys.I was thinking of this brother color printer: it's just $140 right now on saleFor Direct mailers I was thinking of trying to print blue ink on a yellow sheet of lined papers for making offers for "cash offers on houses" or the "we buy houses" type letters.I would probably use it 90% for black and white thoughYeah I'm definitely not getting an inkjet from what I've been reading.

The purpose of my road trip is to decide where I want to start a new life and my real estate business.Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!

I want to be present for the inspection, however my attendance is impossible.As a first time buyer, I am concerned that I will miss valuable experience by not being present at the inspection.I would appreciate any tips/concerns for closing on a property remotely.

I have made some good connections at my country club over the last few years, and I plan to talk to a person that owns a contracting business here in my hometown and also a very successful apartment complex owner about my idea.I really appreciate any tips/comments/advice that you are willing to give me.

A flyer has as much sophistication as an invitation to an ice cream social at a church, or a donation to the school sports program for a car wash.The letters I receive inviting me to investment seminars from estate planners and investment brokers are on stationary, not copy paper, much less some garbage colored letter.

Great tips.

I first encountered BP when I was searching for answers on how to screen my first tenants and the ideas and tips I read in your forum posts are a large part of why those tenants are the best in my building, hands down.

A few tips on the website and on meeting some fellow investors:Search for local meetups here or google a local REI club to network with other investors.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko , @James Wise , @Jenkins Ramon , @Paul Timmins Thanks for the warm welcome and the helpful tips.
