Wholesale Marketing Campaign
Hi everyone! This is my first post on Bigger Pockets and I'm looking forward to being a part of this community.
I am getting ready to start my first marketing campaign to go directly to the seller and buy properties and was wondering what your preferred avenue of marketing and budget is. I already drive for dollars and have picked up a couple that way and will continue to do that. I've researched doing postcards, SEO, bill boards, and even radio ads; is anyone doing these and are they effective?
Finally, if I had $100 a month to spend on marketing, where would you allocate that money towards marketing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm looking forward to the feedback!
-Sean

@Sean Ellis Check our listsource.com
You can purchase specific lists in your desired zip codes. You can filter by many options, I usually start with absentee owners (means owners mailing address is different than the property address = rental property). I like these prospects because many landlords actually hate being landlords and would entertain an offer.
As for your marketing budget... If $100.00 is your max monthly, your o pay option is really sponsored Ad’s on Facebook. That said, $100.00 is t going to get your many eyes.
