I came across this image for a postcard advertising a re-modeler in the area. I found it to be refreshing from just the standard high gloss, high end construction photos.

The question is: Is it effective?

And what have you found (show examples) to be effective in direct marketing promotions.

Thanks!

Which associations (for remodeling, rehabing) have you been in and felt that they were a good value? And why?

Thanks!

I am focusing my efforts in a two city area. They are both in the same county. What is the best way to find out and learn the building codes/requirements for those towns? Yes, I would like a magic book that lists out the requirements to finish a basement or requirements for a kitchen remodel.

How do I drive down the learning curve and not study the Uniform Building Code or Electric Code books :-/

Thanks everyone!

Do the boards generally have rules prohibiting letting other users use your login/password?

It would seem that the MLS is the last good reason to become a RE Agent.

It would also seem to be another revenue stream for the local boards/MLS databases to sell memberships that allow the mining data (view) but not allow the posting of properties (only brokerages/agents).

Thoughts?

Wow...I'm sorry but why would anyone want books that were published during the 2005 - 2008 time period? RE crash anyone? The one book that was post-2008 might be worth a read.

If you thought finding a good piece of dirt or property was hard to find...try finding people willing to pay for the seminar in the first place. The marketing of seminar is tough to begin with and then the audience has a skeptical eye even before they see the price of the seminar.

Most people will find a lot of information on the type of RE they are looking to work with. A shotgun seminar approach doesn't work anymore. And selling it is even harder.
