I’m starting to get the hang of creating webpages pretty quickly using joomla and random templates. Those RocketTheme.com templates are amazing! Anyhow I’ve always been looking for a forum or group that is really local to the area I’m investing in. The REIA’s in my area have investors that are more focused on urban areas such as Newark, Jersey City, Patterson and North Bergan. This doesn’t do me very good if I’m looking to network with investors in my area, so i decided instead of me trying to find them let them find me!
With that in mind I created a Forum called…
JerseyRei.com – Northern NJ Investors Forum
I’ll be advertising it on craigslist and through my meetup groups to try and attract some members. It only took me about 5 hours to put together so what ever I get out of it will be a bonus.
Pre Qual
Steph’s comment on my last post reminded me that I did have a prequal letter from Coastal funding that i got back in October. I’m not sure how I forgot about this, but hopefully I can use it to make offers. Has anyone ran into problems making offers through a realtor with one of these?
Mailers
I’ve been gotting absoultely NO response from my mailers over the last month. I’ve been sending out about 100 ever week. That’s not a lot but I should be getting 1-3 calls per week but instead…NADA!
I’ve been following my 7 bucket strategy with repeat mailings and still nothing. Gets a bit frustrating shelling out money for postcards and not even getting tire kickers to call.
Next week my summer hours start at work and I’ll be getting a half day on fridays so I’ll be headed to the courthouse to try and dig up the Probate files. I’ve been looking forward to doing this for a few months now. Maybe that is the list that will give me the most response.
I’m never going to give up, so you guys don’t have to worry about that. Something will work eventually!

Hey Scott,
I thought about the Coastal Funding letter, too. The only thing negative thing I heard about was from another investor who had an agent call to confirm with Coastal Funding, and Coastal didn’t know who the investor was (which would make sense, since it’s basically a form letter).
