I would join a couple REIA clubs and then start passing out business cards.

Here's their site:http://santabarbarareia.com/Each meeting is recorded and uploaded to YouTube.

Pounding the pavement, passing out cards, networking with real estate professionals, etc...

Make business cards and hand the out until everyone knows what you do.

I've read that hand writing is best, red ink, yellow letters, hand stamped, and card envelopes as opposed to #10 letter.

Someone had posted on a related thread, that raising the rent is a less bitter pill to swallow when accompanied by a small token of appreciation to the tenant - a $50 gift card for example.

Also, you might want to upload a picture of yourself, it makes it more personal when we are responding to your posts!

I am basically stuck to uploading/editing photos and listing that our agents at the office bring in, and inputting them in MLS and our various other websites.

Be sure to upload a picture so that people will start recognizing you when you post comments.

They are borrowing, maxing out credit cards, selling their soul to get a house just so they will get back 8k.
