First off the situation is not as dire as the media portrays it to be, bad news sells so the media keeps feeding it.

Current online programs are VERY LIMITING....most PM pros who manage SFRs use PROMAS rental management program....it can integrate with HomeRentals.net website for rental marketing, posting owner/tenant statements, ACH AND next spring it will allow for tenant screening...It has contact management capability AND can install copies of word documents

There are thousands upon thousands of agent blogs that are active and I believe that an effective way to garner business is through trust (achieved through using social media) and personalization of your brand.

What are some of the best ways to integrate investor/real estate agent.Some things I was thinking:Advertise to real estate investors to use me to list at investor discounts.Find good houses on the MLS and call my list of investors about it and take in the commision upon sale.2.

It is possible to cobble together your own "record" feature but not simple, integrated, or reliable.I was thinking of the GrandCentral just for operating the phone number, not the business phone system per se.

And, there is the news media if you need to provide further encouragement for an issue like this.

What is important is to have both direct to door advertising (direct mail or flyers) and mass media (bandit signs, newspaper display ads; billboards).

The way I see it though, the media's job is to cause a frenzy with everything, and if they are scaring others away from the market and making people want to sell....More deals for us!!!

Technically, I believe we are in a recession now but the media is keeping it quiet.

First of all, none of you are Tony Soprano, and secondly this business requires morals, ethics and integrity.
