My family owns some land outside of Dothan Alabama with decent road frontage on a highway. I am thinking of ways to create revenue streams for the property and one is by constructing a billboard and collecting money from renting it. Does anyone have experience with this and/or any contacts in the industry that I could talk with more?

Thanks in advance!

I called Dekalb Zoning as I wanted to do something similar and the lot has to be ~10,000 Sq ft minimum which gets rid of this option for me...I wish they wouldnt be soooo stingy!

 Yes, Richard was great to work with! Any chance you can connect me with that contact as well? Thanks!

Any luck @Napoleon DeCiutiis? I recently purchased through the STS on the forgotten coast and looking to acquire more potentially.

Thanks,

I currently use Tenant Cloud, but they just announced fees for all ACH transactions. I was thinking about leaving anyway due to the amount of manual entry that must occur, but this helped push me over the edge. I would love to hear others experiences. I would love a tool where I can do property management and accounting together, but that is not a requirement.

 Hi @Kerry Baird, any chance you have an updated list from this? PenFed is no longer offering fyi…

@Marcus Auerbach I agree a great agent can't be beat. I have used the agent finder on BP and everyone is based on Atlanta and not any submarkets. Should I just contact them and see if they specialize in my smaller zipcode? Every agent I've ever talked to says they are an "investor agent" or have great knowledge of my area, but that tends to not be the case except for my first real estate agent who I will not name, but he was the best I ever had and met him here on BP. Unfortunately, he is too busy with his own game to help me out on a regular basis.

Definitely not trying to break any rules here, but I believe this concept was actually pitched on the BP podcast when they were discussing leverage. I only do this on properties that have been sitting for a while and it’s actually been pretty wild the amount of “inside information” that I am getting from these agents that I would have never gotten from mine. Now that may be a sign that I need a better agent but unfortunately I have not found one due to the size of the market. I had one agent send me his original proposal to his client where he recommended a sales price 120k less than what it was listed for. 

Hey Guys, I am trying a new strategy of not using a real estate agent myself but trying to get the sellers agent to be a “transactional agent”. The thought is this would get them somewhat on my side(although not officially) so I have a better chance of negotiating and knowing exactly what the seller wants. Also, I am trying to get them to use a lower commission rate and reducing that from the sales price as the seller will still see the same amount. Has anyone else tried this and do you have any pointers or success/failure stories. Thanks!
