Congrats on keeping up the momentum and persistence, especially in this market!

The key to success in marketing is to be consistent and persistent. 

(No cost to do this, just some time)If the  problem persists, get one of the outlet testers that plugs into an outlet and indicates problems with the outlet.

Open house signs have been my most cost effective marketing material, make sure they are branded to you though as generic ones look cheap..... don't neglect online forums via FaceBook and craigslist Google Marketing and 4 P's then add the 5th one of persistence!!

Nothing else will make it go away if the debtor is persistent enough.

The common missing part in both is the ones who are successful work extremely hard, study and become professionals in their induatry, and persist through the challenges.

Persistence pays!  

Monday and Tuesday, he moved on to trying to memorize more and more of the algorithms.He is.He has not memorized them yet completely.He still has to use a written guide.However, he is solving the puzzle 100% of the time.This game of real estate is very similar to the Rubik’s Cube situation.Real estate is a complete puzzle and mystery when you are starting out.It’s difficult.You might as well be learning a language of a tribe hidden from human view for thousands of years.There’s no context.Yet, SOME OF YOU persist (a very small minority).If you persist, you start to figure some things out on your own.Then, you start to do more and more research, which leads to learning.It leads you to sites like BiggerPockets.It leads you to books, some of which provide step-by-step action plans.The point is, nothing in real estate is an unknown (from a learning standpoint).We’re not reinventing the wheel through all of this.100% of every process that we go through and have to learn, we can commit to a process in writing.As an example of this, if you choose to be a buy-and-hold investor, one of your algorithms will be to locate a house suitable for purchase.Then, once you have the algorithm, you can start to fill in the steps.It’s not rocket science.Your steps may include describing exactly what you’re looking for first.“3 BR/1 BA (at least) in Pulliam County that will cash flow at least $200 / month.”Awesome.Now you can exclude EVERYTHING ELSE.Then, you can outline a process for yourself.

Here @ BP, there's lots of vicarious experiences and a person with your skills will be able to glean the nuggets herein.Stick with it because persistence is frequently rewarded well.

Prices are up but so are rents - still good deals out there for those who are patient and persistent.
