Hi @Michael Ewers

I have had a few past clients from Cali call me saying "I sent post cards to home sellers and I have someone who wants to sell, can you help me with pictures and videos" 

I think their method was just mass mail and they got a few hits. Another way is to check out this website. It gives you a list of all the assumable mortgages in your area.  https://assumelist.com/

i can only speak for what i've done as i suspect it varies by market.  i had a lot of success with direct mail and actually a fair amount with email.  SMS really did not work, it seemed to annoy a lot of people waaaaaaaay more any other method.

"Best" is very subjective and the quantity of off market leads isn't necessarily the metric you should be focused on. In my opinion, more important metrics are total profit and time spent managing the operation.

All marketing works. You'll get differing amounts and qualities of leads depending on the type of marketing, but also depending on who you're marketing to and where. The systems you have in place to handle leads, follow-up and your sales processes are also huge factors.

Another factor is what is your monthly marketing budget? How big do you want to scale or how many closed deals (or more importantly how much profit) are you trying to do per month? Are you buying for yourself or trying to wholesale (or what is your exit strategy)?

Ultimately anyone else's conversion rate with a given type of marketing in a given market does not necessarily mean you will get the same rate. Conversion rates also change over time.

The answers to some of those questions would help point you in a good direction.

For me, the most success that I have had as far as getting a conversation with the actual owner is D4D and then knocking on the door. But I am interested in what others have to say on this topic! 

About Me: Hello! My name is Laqurn Andrews, and I'm a new investor based in Montgomery, Alabama. I'm excited to start my journey in real estate investing and I'm particularly focused on long-term rentals and multifamily properties. I believe these investment types offer a great opportunity for steady cash flow and long-term growth.

I’m eager to learn more from experienced investors and build a strong foundation in the industry. I’m currently researching strategies for finding the right properties, managing investments, and growing my portfolio in a sustainable and profitable way.

I’m open to networking, partnerships, and learning opportunities from others in the real estate community.

Current Goals:

• Expand my knowledge of long-term rental and multifamily investments.
• Connect with other investors, mentors, and professionals in the real estate space.
• Begin purchasing properties that align with my long-term investment goals.

Feel free to reach out if you have advice, resources, or if you're looking for someone to collaborate with!

Hey Michael! SW OKC, Moore, and Norman are great areas to look into. 

Hello BP community! I am looking to get into out of state investing. I live in San Diego, CA and as you all know, it’s a very high entry point here so looking to get into a long term rental elsewhere. I am looking to use all cash, under 200k, preferably under 180k for a single family or a duplex if viable with my budget. I am a small business owner, business is not doing too well right now so that’s why I’m looking at an all cash buy, so I can get a nice cash flow to supplement. Would like to be in a city where I could get potentially $1,500 to 2k in rent. The list of cities that I’ve come up with so far by my own rookie research is the following, but always open to other suggestions from members that have experience else where. 
Waco, Dallas, El Paso, TX

Indianapolis, IN

Pittsburg, PA

Looking to connect with locals who can help build a boots on the ground team as well. Thank you guys so much for any help here. 

Hi everyone. I'm new to biggerpockets.com. I'm looking for someone with personal experience dealing with a wholesaler friendly title company in Alabama.

If you know any, please let me know. Thanks

Good evening everybody, I would like to begin investing out of state specifically in the Alabama area. I have $100k in cash to utilize to buy a long term rental property. I am more concerned with not being able to rent the property out, compared to the buying process. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, I am based out of Miami, FL.
