Would you suggest working with an agent to start, or focus on other marketing channels (driving for dollars, mailers, pre-forclosures, etc.)?

I've been running a vacation rental operation in South Florida for the past 7 years, helping owners drive revenue. 

They offer bulk rates which can be useful if you're dealing with a sizable list.PropertyRadar: Apart from skip tracing, this platform offers a suite of tools for real estate professionals, especially for those in the western US.Tips on Other Types of Lists and Marketing to Homeowners:Driving for Dollars: This involves physically driving through neighborhoods, looking for distressed or vacant properties, and then noting the addresses to look up the owners later.Probate Lists: Properties in probate can sometimes be acquired below market value.

I'm considering just expanding my storage space for my Google Drive and continuing to use Sheets/Docs etc.I've found success with organizing through Google but would love to hear what others use and how they're staying organized.

It's hard to give directions when I don't know where you are going, where you are starting from, or whether you are walking, riding a bicycle, or driving a car.One thing I do know: do not spend all your money!

What is driving the Florida market is simply it is too unaffordable for someone to buy a home here.I am based in Bradenton, FL (Manatee County).

I'm a territory manager for a telecommunications company, and driving through the Newburgh NY I forsee a huge upside in this neighborhood.  

So how do you go about it without driving real estate agents crazy.

Phycologically, it should drive even more people back into the market, which is a good thing.

For myself, I decided to look at markets within a 4-hour drive from Atlanta.
