I could use some advice

[Simeon Etoria]

I recently started real estate investing, a little under a year ago. Within this time I have only purchased five properties from homeowners. Some say that this is a great start, but I still feel as if I am not reaching out to homeowners as effectively as I could. I have driven the miles, sent yellow letters, left behind door hanger advertisements, posted on Craigslist, used Bandit signs (with no major luck), as well as several other techniques. If anyone else has any ideas to better connect with homeowners, I would really appreciate your advice. 

-Thank You!!
