What's the biggest problem with your marketing?

[Blair Halver]

What do you find is the biggest obstacle/problem/issue/frustration you have with marketing for your real estate investing business?

Would it be:

• Deciding what medium to use (e.g. direct mail, web, etc.)
• Finding the right mailing list (e.g. probate, absentee-owner, etc.)
• Writing good copy that pulls a decent response rate (for direct mail)
• Not having enough money to spend on marketing
• Not having enough time to field phone calls from potential sellers
• Following up on seller leads
• Low volume of leads
• Low motivation level of leads

Or is it something else??

For my own business, it's making initial contact with sellers - i.e. weeding through all the tire-kickers to find the real deals. What a pain in the arse.

300 is nuts. Might be time to move on to a different niche or area. I have a good number of DFW properties, mostly east, and I get very few mailings.

Jon - I think I need to make a trip to DFW to visit Buttermilk's. Food looks freakin' good!

We could do an East TX meetup there and talk marketing. Come on!
