Tips for Posting in the Marketplace Forum

Here are some tips for getting better results from your marketplace postings:

  1. If you are posting a property, provide details! Photos, location, PRICE, and other pertinent information that any prospective homebuyer would obviously want in a listing should be included.
  2. Do NOT poach other people’s marketplace posts. Their marketplace post is not the correct place to start talking about YOUR property, offer, listing, or financing solution
  3. Fill up your post with keywords! If you are posting in Denver, make sure to include keywords like “Denver” “CO” “Colorado” and perhaps even specific neighborhoods that the property is in and that surround the property.

This post came up in my keyword alerts, as I have one set for "Denver" -- Good work Dave!

    @Dave Meyer Did you or @Karen Margrave figure out how alerts can be used with the Marketplace?  Going both ways if I have a listing which I do, and I've added keywords such as these but after looking at other recent listings it seems my "keyword alert" only works for the general forums and I have not ever been notified about anything in the marketplace.  It would be great to both be able to be notified of new listings as well as if there was more data available to those who list such as who is viewing them.

    @Brian Poirrier We don't have keyword alerts for the marketplace yet but this is definitely on our list of features to explore for the marketplace!

    We have plans to buy inner city KC property and develop the still risky blocks. All in at $35-$40K. Many viable exit plans including balloon or payoff at 1 year, 2 year Or 5 year. Rent, owner finance, and sell as turn key are viable options for these areas. We believe we will rehab 2 times as the market quickly moves to rehab all of Kansas City. We have a realtor on staff. We have wholesalers on staff. A little about us: we have only rehabbed and maintained investment property for 10 years. We sponsor Local REI group and NARPM sponsorship has us with great relationships with KC wholesalers, investors, landlords, property managers, inspectors, real estate agents, and all specialty trades.

    How we can make you money quickly relies on our rehab superpower if you will. Paired with an understanding of real estate investment-we use our skill to get nearly double out of our rehab dollars. We push and push the ARV with our systems. We don't charge for a whole box of items when we only use 2 out of the 12. We negotiate low cost high quality supplies and material to stretch the dollar and increase value.

    You will have the ability to invest a low 40K and no less than 15% return. We are definitely open to other arrangements.

    We have hundreds of completed rehabs. Fully licensed and insured and ready to make people money. Ask about our KC RETURNS PRESENTATION. We are happy to show you how safe and secure your modest investment will be.

    Is there a place to promote flips for sale that you own or have under contract? Or can we only post rentals in the for sale section?
