Mark K's blog

I've created a new blog of self-empowerment, motivation and positivity.

Thanks for looking!

So far got one buyer out of the 41 letters I sent out. They are looking for SFHs & duplexes for $40k or less, cash on hand. It's a couple and each one has their own business and don't have time to look for deals themselves. Sounds quite promising.

Sent a letter to my former landlord as he has his own construction company that he uses to rehab old Victorian style houses and sell for a profit.

Video conferenced with another dg member last night for about 2 1/2 hrs. Lots of info exchanged, was very productive. Breathed some new life into my re pursuits.

Can't do any calls today as they're working on the roof and it reverbs throughout the whole apt.

Doing some more internet research, implementing some ideas from that call last night.

That's it for now.

Last night i finished finding names & addresses for the county tax sale auction buyers that paid $5k to $9999 per SFR property. Ended up with 17 after filtering them through my specifications.
Printed them out today, hand wrote the addresses on the envelopes and walked them to the PO. In 36°F weather I may add. Nice way to get rosy cheeks although I prefer the alcohol method.
The new, Canadian landlords closed on the house today. Nice couple in their early 30's. They had a contractor come and give them an estimate on the roof.
Of course I got his business card. He was a sincere and respectful guy. Have a feeling I'll be handing him a few jobs down the road.

That's about it for now.

Have a great weekend everybody!

I've been sitting on my duff for too long. I'm getting started on my New Year's resolution now. Thanks for the idea Dean!

I enrolled in the Success Academy at the end of May (2011) and learned a lot of information and ended up with a great coach. (shout-out to Matt )

But very little action was taken on my part.

I have called landlords and gotten mostly sellers, although I admit it was a half-hearted attempt.

In August I purchased the Rock Bottom Blueprint and learned even more info and tons of great ideas courtesy of the 30 Days Quick Cash Formula Forum. Called a few re agents and got frustrated with how clueless some appear to be.

...and sat around some more.

In October I found out that my county released the names of buyers from this year's tax auction.
