@Aaron Mazzrillo I didn't realize the Jolly Robot number was publicly available for us to use...turns out there is a whole youtube page of recordings by the Jolly Roger Telephone company....

The system I use is the public media; TV, radio, direct mail, branding and using the right message.The best leads you can work on are those who call you directly to buy their property (houses, commercial or non-conforming)There are lots of motivated and distressed owners of real estate who prefer not listing their property with a real estate company for month only to find out that they are represented by amateurs in the business, they don't want to call on a bandit signs hanging on a public telephone pole to talk to a bottom feeding equity predator, they laugh their butts off reading "I want to buy your property, written child like on YELLOW PAPER.I have been doing well finding these folks (they finding me) with real desires, real financial issues, sincere sellers with problems.  

As a young man, I hired on with SBC (now AT&T) as a high speed internet and telephone technician.

For example, you can't deduct the same telephone expense in both the management company and the rental company.Here's the way you might consider setting this up:LLC #1 = Buy and Hold LLCLLC #1 = Managers LLCBuy and Hold LLC purchases a property and pays to fix up the property.  

Discussing areas not to invest in is probably best done via telephone but Atlanta is a fantastic place to invest.

Sounds like a waste of time battling for space on a telephone pole when you can change your marketing route and do something that's different than what others are doing.

Bandit signs on telephone poles however, will get you a lower response rate due to the fact that they're a bit inconspicuous, but I've had some stay posted for 4+ months and generate a slow trickle of phone calls the entire duration.

We called them landlords.In 1959 Bill Nickerson, a California Telephone Company employee, wrote and had published a book titled " How I Turned $3,000 into $1,000,000 By Investing In Real Estate In My Spare Time".  

This leads me to believe the proerty may still be available.I've done my research, found the owner/address/telephone number/occupation/etc (Thanks Google!!)
