The top 3 methods for finding motivated sellers:1) Google AdWords (Search advertising)2) Direct Mail - Absentees, Sr.

Those are good leads because we only sent them to/re: houses we want from sellers with equity.Via Google AdWords, a web lead might cost from $75 to $125, but you get leads from anyone, and even get out-of-area leads from Google.  

Even if you're tech savvy and plan on spending $10K/month on ad words, the name is irrelevant.

Many revenue management solutions such as the ones we use leverage "AI technology" to dynamically price the leases based on market rents.We have used AI for RE content, adwords, etc.Next few years would be interesting as AI works its way into the real estate industry which has not traditionally been an early adopter of technology.

I do Direct Mail, I have a lead generation Website and pay for Google Adwords, I out in offers on the MLS, and Buy Hud PRoperties. 

@Jerryll Noorden  @Tyler Cody I completely and totally agree with everything Jerryll said.(1) SEO leads (or Google Adwords is about the same) is the absolute hottest lead category.

You can also purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media marketing.

Adwords is a different story.Buy Rick some business cards and flyers to post on doors, you supply the materials and the unique phone tracking and URL, he does all the leg work.

Anyone have luck with SEO campaigns or Google ad words to target and get calls?
