Read the full article → Real Estate Wholesaling by Sharon Vornholt | November 21, 2011A forum discussion that I came across about working with wholesalers recently caught my eye. This person was saying something to the effect that they wanted to go around the wholesaler and work directly with the seller.

Real Estate Marketing by Sharon Vornholt | November 14, 2011I have been marketing to probates using direct mail for a long time now. Over the past 6 months or so, I have noticed a change that will directly impact how I market to these folks in the future. In fact, I would say this will be my new way to market to probates. My [...]
Real Estate Investing by Marty Boardman | October 6, 2011It didn’t feel right. As I walked out of the print shop with 50 signs I couldn’t help but wonder if this plan would backfire on me. The huge decal on the back window of my Ford Expedition, the cheap little classified ads in the local Super Shopper – and now this. Little white signs [...]
Real Estate Marketing by Jason Hanson | August 7, 2011 
Earlier this week I got three and a half hours of sleep. I was coming home from vacation and my flight got in super late. I had to get up early to do a few things, however I made sure that I did not meet with any sellers that day. Why? Because I felt like [...]

Landlord Tenant by Ken Corsini | June 15, 2011

Read the full article → Real Estate Marketing by Jason Hanson | June 5, 2011When I use direct mail to try and get deals I almost always use an absentee owner mailing list. If you happen to be new, this just means I’m getting a list of landlords. Why is this the type of list I use most often? First off, most landlords are amateurs and have no idea [...]
Real Estate Investing by Danny Johnson | June 3, 2011

Although, I must say that every successful investor I know has gone through the experience of putting out bandit signs at 3am in the freezing cold. I also know that addressing and stuffing several thousand envelopes a month isn’t much fun either. But again, [...]
Real Estate Marketing by Jason Hanson | May 22, 2011It happens to almost every new real estate investor. You start out marketing like crazy, doing everything you’re supposed to be doing – this includes direct mail, bandit signs, networking and flyers.
