Courtney Hebert thanks for the answer. I think I'm gonna do a mix of different type of leads and will most likely include some delinquent taxes. How long ago have you started your marketing and how many letters a month are you sending ?

Hello everyone,

I am about to start my second marketing campaign in Houston, Texas, the first one was just a small scale campaign aimed to be a good learning experience (actually still going on).

I plan on mailing 500/600 leads a month for a minimum of 6 months. I am asking for your help because I am trying to find the best type of leads possible (absentee, divorce, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes...etc) since my marketing volume is limited. I do not mind doing some legwork upfront to fine tune the best list possible.

Please share your advice about what has worked best for your campaigns.

Thanks

Iman Yu great explanation of your second deal, thanks for all those tips !

@Fred Heller thanks for your answer. Would the assistant still get his own access to the MLS?

@Mike Cumbie

great answer, that does make sense. I think it's a little more expensive here in Texas but I think that it's an alternative to consider. 

Most of the people told me not to get a licence because it would affect my investing. Do you know exactly what they meant by that?

@Russell Brazil, what is the issue exactly ? I am trying to understand. If the investor is doing some marketing and providing listing leads to the agent, why would that be an issue ?

@Russell Brazil, thanks for your answer.

Let's take a hypothetical example, I am an investor, I have an investor-friendly real estate agent friend. What steps are required for me to become his unlicensed assistant ?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I did some research about the steps involved in becoming a real estate agent unlicensed assistant in Texas but was not able to find solid information.

I would like to know how the process work, what are the required steps, what kind of fees are involved ?

Your help is much appreciated.

Charles Nguyen sounds good. So no July meetup at the black Labrador ?

Jonathan Bonck congrats! How did you initially estimated the rehab costs? Who did you use for your contractor ? How close did you end up being from your initial estimate? Thanks
