Ideas from the BP Community?

[Ryan Keeton]

I'm an newer agent in Kentucky that has experience working with investors prior to becoming licensed. Our area has lost a lot of major employers over the past few years which has resulted in a lot of vacant commercial buildings with other companies closing shop. Recently it was announced we would have a major 500-1000 jobs coming to the area with a new industry. Obviously this should have a trickle into other industries and hopefully sales and jobs for the vacant buildings. My question is what kind of things and marketing would other investors or agents like to see to help spark some clients towards utilizing myself to help them get ahead of acquiring some of the vacant real estate?

@Ryan Keeton go to your local REIA and start to network. At the meetings, you are going to find the owners or contacts for an owner with these vacant properties. The best marketing you can do is promoting the value and service you can bring to others. Real estate is a people business. Start your networking! Good luck with your future REI ventures!
