Find you a local investor and ask if you can take them out to dinner or lunch and ask them how you can bring value to their business.

All kinds of delicious questions to ask. 

Like when the Rams play or when it's 5:00 PM and they're eating dinner?

They all self entertained but it was nice to put on a show for them to watch as we cooked dinner or as we packed up the house to leave.

With 500k on hands it's easy to make decision, 500 bucks a month is only equal to 5 dinner in average restaurant these days

they have a condo in Hawaii that is never used . we use it two times a year for the last 18 years for no cost but I treat for nice dinners of course..

You will have the best shot of doing a deal if you can sit eye to eye with the seller over coffee.I would begin a direct mail campaign that is hand written and offer to buy them dinner to discuss the property.

I advertised on rent.com and that was 50 dollars down the toilet.Not one call and I am priced great.What I have had great success with on my apartments is I have a sign like the ugly yellow sign or a white sign with black marker on it.I pay a person about 5 bucks an hour to go out and hold it for a few hours at lunch and dinner time on a close high traffic street.Also in front of a Wal-mart main road is great also.Each time they do it I get about 5 to 7 calls a day.I have 20 units and growing so if you have one house you might need to only do it for a day or so.I have found it extremely effective because the people are localized or work in the area and want to relocate there and get rid of the commute.Many cities or counties have sign ordinances for being in the ground.What they many times DO NOT have is an ordinance against people holding a sign for a few hours at a busy intersection.So this little tactic has worked well for me.I am landing a bunch of quality tenants from it.

It is directly across the street from his parents house (where he goes for dinner every night).
