@Sam S. We need more information.  What is the name of your site and what keywords are you targeting?

@Josh Reborchick If you want to do deals in the areas that you listed in your post then you need to do the following.

Contact @Michael Quarles and setup a yellow letter campaign.  There are plenty of deals in those areas and few people are working the Ft. Hood, Killeen, Temple area.

You can do a small mailing 500 letters and get great results over a 4-6 month period.

If you use the search engines to find/build a buyer list then you don't want to click on the paid ads.  Either call the number or manually type the URL into your browser.

It's very irritating to get web leads that you call and the person isn't really a lead but they want to add you to a list.

Looks like a great rehab!  Keep us posted on the sales price and any issues you run into.

@Omari Brown Scott Costello has a great post at strugglinginvestor.com about Investor Carrot.  I highly recommend you take a look before you purchase.

@Steve Agile SEO is legit and it does work.  Google likes to change the rules because google doesn't make any money off of organic listings.  They make money off of Adwords.

No one can guarantee you results.  The best way to approach this is from a business view.  Look at your market and determine how many distressed sales come available per year.  Then determine what you're average profit is per transaction.  Next up you need to determine what you are willing to spend on the acquisition of your deal.  

Keep in mind that you're not in a traditional business.  It's difficult to forecast a linear deal flow because distressed sales happen when a distressed situation occurs.

I use a blend of web leads, direct mail, and signs.

Direct mail - yellow letters, bandit signs, and a lead generation website should keep you fairly busy with leads.  All of these offer great opportunities but you'll need to stick with it for at least 6 months.

@Brandon Sturgill I would educate yourself on what SEO is and why you need it.  This way you can build a business case around your investment and find a company that meets your budget and your needs.

Great place to start is moz.com.  It's free and full of great advice.  

I would never use odesk for SEO or link building, unless you know what you're doing.  If and when you do get the penalty from google you'll be delisted and left with the mess to clean up.  If you don't know how to clean it up then you'll have to pay someone to do it and it doesn't come cheap.

After you've cleaned up the back links you're then left with a website that no longer ranks.  It's better to put in the time on the front end to build a solid site. 

@Chadrick Odie A great way to get started is to use a direct mail campaign.  Yellow letters work great and you should talk with @Jerry Puckett and @Michael Q.

@Guy Raveh You should reach out to @Ben G. 

He's local and usually has a steady supply of investment properties.  Great guy to work with.
