I don't have much experience mailing out yellow letters however being in the digital marketing field for my day-to-day job, I couldn't agree more with Mike Hurney on this one!

The realtor can make $10k ~ $30k on commission on a typical sale, so being an investor, it doesn't make sense to make less than the realtor.Because of that, a typical deal could easily cost 6 digits to acquire.Let's use the entry level SFR to do the math.

The properties I purchase are in two of the most polarized markets in the country (Genesee County, MI and Southern CA) and I have thus far made one financed purchase as opposed to near triple digit cash purchases.

It's a digital signature program, that allows tracking and open notifications.You can easily add initials, signatures, and additional text onto the lease, and then send to your tenants.We use it for all of our out of state signatures, and also many in state as well, since it's much more convenient then meeting in person.

I've been using them for several years now for digital design, advertising, photos, etc. 

more like waaay too many calls for me to handle on my own so I had to form a team of Investor Votrons to work it (again this is a biased pov bc online and digital stuff is what I do as a day job lol)

Citizens, Probates, etc.3) Signage - bandit signs, billboards, digital boards, event sponsorships, etc.Surprisingly, you can get some leads from Craigslist as well.If I had only $1K per month to spend on marketing, I do an AdWords account with a $33 per day budget.

@James - I googled that planner and it doesn't look bad but I rather have something digital as it is much easier to carry with you.

Anyone without social security number can apply for an ITIN - Individual Tax Identification Number - that also has 9 digits and can be used instead of the social security number.
