@melissadorman: Waiting three years to buy your first rental costs you more than buying a mediocre one today. Say a boring little deal puts $400 a month in your pocket. That's $4,800 a year, so three years of researching and waiting is $14,400 you never made. Nobody grieves that number because it never showed up on a statement. But the money isn't the expensive part. The person who started three years ago isn't three years ahead on cash, she's three years ahead on knowing what she's doing. She's had the awkward conversation with a seller. She's been wrong about a repair estimate. That's why her second deal takes a fraction of the work. Here's how you actually find one. My first 300 letters got me two duplexes. The letter was three sentences. I wrote it in five minutes with my realtor. It was not marketing genius, I just sent it. Handwritten, or looks handwritten. Like something your grandmother would send you, like there might be money inside. And there is, if they sell you that house. Book a call with my team.
