Damien Dupee If you decide to breakdown your lists on the DM you send, I suggest CallRail. It’s $30/Mo for 10 numbers and you can assign each number to a different mailing list. It does a good job showing all the action your numbers receive... it can also integrate with podio for free (using the globiflow extension) and every time someone calls your number podio will automatically update and it can tag it as an absentee owner list or driving for dollars list, etc.

Hi Gregory Keleshian , I’m a broker and Investor in Indy and would be happy to help if you PM me for more details. Also, I went on a scouting trip to Jax in October and met up with Chris Carson . He was able to steer me in the right direction. Best of luck.

Welcome! I suggest checking out meetup.com. You will be able to find more details about the meetings Andy mentioned. Good luck and let me know if there is anything that I can do to assist.

I agree with Jay Hinrichs about Indy having some great pockets to invest in, while there are definitely plenty of others to avoid! (Side note: Jay, I’m looking forward to hearing your podcast episode with Tucker Merrihew) Anyway, you ever make it out here please let me know, I would be happy to show you around or give you any info you need (I’m a licensed broker and Investor). In regards to Jax, I visited the area and found that there are also good pockets there... the main difference that I noticed is that in Indy, it’s not uncommon to drive the streets and see several contractors working. Whereas in Jax, it was evident there were rehabs going on, but not to the extent I am accustomed to seeing on a regular basis in Indy. Perhaps it was the neighborhoods I was driving in Jax, although I did spend hours driving and scoping the area, but I thought it was odd I didn’t see more crews out working even though I visited only few weeks after Irma hit. I think both places have good overall economics and opportunity. I will let someone else chime in on ATL.

Thanks @Ryan Dossey!

Hey @Ryan Dossey, what is the rule here?  I called Mibor and the gal I spoke with indicated that I did not need to include my brokerage info. on my direct mail pieces, but I was surprised to hear that.  Is that true?  

Welcome! Feel free to message me if you want to grab a beer. I would be happy to share the deets on Indy. I lived in Knoxville for a couple of years so I’m also curious on your experience in Nashville.

Hi Kevin Keithley , if Michael J. Beasley hadn’t already reached out, he is exactly who I was going to tag in this thread. I’ve worked with nearly every title company in Indy and Michael and his growing team are the best.

Hi BP World!

I am trying to figure out a scalable way to follow up on MLS offers. We are good about getting offers in on properties quickly after they hit the market, but unless there is a status change i.e. price drop, back on the market, etc. or I happen to see that it is still listed 30+ days after it's been on the market, it seems that my follow up system is lacking. I just initiated a new follow up process with a VA, but I am tapping into the community to see if anyone has other systems in place that I might be able to implement. Is there a way to do this automatically with InvestorFuse? Thanks!

Hey Patrick Philip , I think it depends on each individuals definition of “hot.” For example, the Midwest is “hot” for cash flow investors right now and we’re seeing a lot of out of state investors. I would define hot as someplace with a lot of demand and activity... another example, Austin is “hot” and a lot of people are flocking to the city for cool tech jobs and causing great appreciation which is “hot” for investors that dig the appreciation play. I read an article the other day (I forget where) about how someone bought a house in Austin using bitcoin and I think it marked the first type a RE transaction had been done with that form of currency. I think the Reno, NV market is also “hot” because a lot of Silicon Valley companies are investing in Northern Nevada like Tesla. Side note, if I just triggered any Reno/Tahoe investor’s keywords I would love to connect. As far as resources go Patrick, the new book that BP released by Anson Young has some good tools for using list source to find the most active areas of town. Good luck!
