Understanding the market demand for rare property types, like townhouses in Uptown Charlotte, is key to making strategic investments.

Once of our clients just picked up a turn-key vacant duplex for just under $700,000.

I found this deal through my real estate network, which identified the land as a key opportunity for development in Morganton.

if you have limited resources, you need to plan accordingly to your budget.if your budget is Zero, you need to use free marketing methods like calling all FSBO in your area and landlords with houses that are outdatedif your budget is $250 you can use other strategies like skip tracing, driving for dollars, cold calling or door knockingif you have a larger budget you can do Direct mailing campaigns but to hard to find list, where the competition is small Adjust your marketing based on your monthly budget and be consistent for 3 to 6 months to see resultsIf you don't have lots of capital, consistency if the key over time

That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

Make this your measurable goal that you track with your daily activity each day .. aka Key Performance indicators or KPIs.
