Does anyone have experience with direct mail marketing as both a Realtor and Investor? 

They are cheap, and will get cheaper in coming recession, as tourism to Vegas will decline, and they have superior growth and great management, that know what they are actually doingADC -(Agree Realty), they do what I do privately, but on a bigger scale, run by Joey Agree , very smart, they have excellent growth, multi-tenant, triple net retail, and grocery anchored Retail, they will benefit from massive secular tailwinds, as there has been under construction in retail for years, due to fear of E-commerce, higher construction costs/insurance costs, post GFC under financing-construction, etc, so existing inventory is commanding higher rents, we are bumping new leases by 7-11%, they will get this endogenous earnings growth for yearsthese should perform well over next 10 years, never buy anything in Real Estate for less than 10 years, to allow to go through cycles, and if you can buy in 401k/IRA so dividends can be re-invested tax freegood luck, you have to monitor your E-REITS like you would any other stock, closely, as they move with sentiment not just on NAV like private Real estate, so you can't just dose em w 200mg of propofol and walk away, not that you'd ever do that :)good luck

Hi there,I'm fairly new to the landlord game and just yesterday received a rather disturbing email from my tenant.  

@Robert E Bogino I've never done it myself.

For example, idea would be to automatically send aggressive offers and or emails/texts so these deals can be procured, is there a way to streamline/automate this type of system ?

Different utilities in Indy so I won't assume it is t h e same here.

And on top of everything, I think the last thing about my returns,  it’s absolutely 100% possible because it’s exactly what I’m doing and I’m not trying to sell one piece of property so like the old saying says when you assume you make an *** out of you and me so stop making assumptions if you don’t know have a clue about my intentions which really are exactly as I stated in pure nature and when I get out of it is a group of people I helped and in the future, I hope that comes in handy, and I’d like to prove you wrong so if you wanna direct message me, I’ll give you my email show you everything and show you how much of an idiot you are

I ask a few questions such as:-Communication - were they responsive to emails and calls-Property care - any major issues / did they leave the property in good condition-Reason for leaving - this would give you more insight if there were issuesAnd always respect privacy if they are not willing to share.

(I don't have to tell them that my fax service emails it to me anyway!).  

This bit me a few months later when I sent direct mail and handwritten letters to homeowners as a wholesaler.
