Marketing with only $200. What would you do?

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone, I am bird dogging for some investors to learn the ropes and have about $200 more or less to spend on marketing. I understand that this is a very little amount but that's all I can make do for now since I'm a beginner and if I mess up I don't want to get messed up. I'm also very young and can't be blowing off lots of money. Well anyways, how would you guys go about my situation in your shoes for marketing, specifically direct mailing. Would you buy lists off of places like listsource, then have a company send out some letters? Or would you do another way? By the way, I have some properties as well from public records too, and I don't have good handwriting. So if you were in my shoes what would you do with about $200 for direct mail marketing?

I'll give you an answer you weren't looking for.

Take $150 and buy a used lawn mower, weed whacker, and snow shovel. Take $50 and make nice business cards and fliers to promote yourself as a property care taker. 

Look up all of the big real estate agents in your area, and drop them off fliers to promote your lawn and snow services. Someone will end up calling. You start getting an in with the local Realtors as a hustler. They'll call you with work. You'll make money and can slowly learn the trade. Ask the Realtors questions. Save your money. By the time you're 18-20 you can buy your first investment property.
