I found this web site and forum after typing some questions into google about real estate investing.My wife and I are looking to get into real estate investing, so I've been reading the forums for the last few hours.  

I am trying to generate a list of home owners (owner occupies, absentee owner, probate, and those that may be in a position to sell) what advice do you have on getting those list narrow AND do you use a website to do your direct mail or do you do it yourself??

He has a great marketing website that helps with the whole process as well as coaching options available.

Most major metro areas have a Realtors Association.They typically have a newsletter and or a "market pulse" type document on-line.Do a google search, find that Association of Realtors and check their web site.

Honestly, this feels a little bit like a Real Estate Dating website. 

Hi Freda,   Try Erin Zabel with state farm , website : erinzabelsfva.com 

:@Lian ShiHave you tried these sitesprosper.compatchofland.comI see a lot of people use it here in the forum and they are public.Hi Daria,Thank you very much for letting me know these two websites.

I have knocked on doors(a summer gig), sold cars(successfully |salesman of the month out of 40 twice in 12months| & consistently just wasn't around enough winners to want to keep at it), worked in construction (I am currently helping renovate a home in Yakima, Washington), coached high school football, cleaned carpets (straight commission) and recently started a business online and learned several programming languages (HTML - CSS - JavaScript - Ruby - and bit of Python and backend database SQL stuff) and can design a fully responsive website from scratch.

You can also use my website which has MLS access.

Honestly finding this website/community, reading the blogs, and reading the books gave me everything I needed to jump full force into this industry.
