I'd not limit my advertising to one media or source but as many as can be employed.Not sure what your target market is, I did college rentals and most units around the colleges are older areas so the properties may be similar to yours.

@Renee Stewart I have been to a few REIA meetings already and started networking and set up my alerts for BP and im going to order a list of about 400 names of absentee owners from list source to start a direct mail campaign no better time to start then now

But try to fill in the following:- Taxes- Insurance- Utilities- Maintenance- Contract Services- Recurring CAPEX- Payroll (if there are people on staff at the apartment)- Advertising- General Admin (again if you have a leasing office at the apartment)- Management FeeIt's tougher for houses, because so much of it depends on whether or not you have a turnover, but I still try to use an estimate of expenses instead of a percentage of income.

I've done 5 and none were advertised. 

Normally, they advertise the sale in early June, this year late June.

I'm now at the point where I'm starting my advertising campaign.

If I haven't done enough then I'll know and it motivates me to do more.The more you market the more opportunities that will come your way.It's been four months since my first bandit sign campaign and I've only done three campaigns.

Some of the study courses that I see advertised are VERY pricey ($600-1000, or more), but may be worth it, for all I know.

You can advertise the website on your bandit signs instead of a #.There you can establish some trust with your potential sellers, plus you can get their info on the house they are looking to sell and call them back on your terms if it looks like a good deal.

For him, its advertising and marketing.
