I would advertise the home on Craigs List, the newspaper and with a window sign.

Given that mobile advertising is increasing at 20 times this rate the reduction is in other types of media like newspaper and television.https://oaaa.org/StayConnected/NewsArticles/IndustryRevenue/tabid/322/id/5012/Default.aspx

The other stuff we do that generate leads:- Our guys wear our T-Shirts everywhere which are bright orange and we get about 10 leads per month from that- Referals from other wholesalers - 40+/month- Old marketing pieces that people come around to after sitting on them for say 6 months - 10+ month- Canvassing - about 200 per month- Billboards - tried this on and off - Newspaper - 10-20 leads/month- Our website is currently being optimized and we get about 10 leads to our own site per month right now.

You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.Best way to find motivated sellers is to purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media.

The property is 10 minutes from an army base, which just had their "largest deployment since 2003" from what the local newspaper said, so we are seeing a lot of competition in the market right now.

@Christian Hutchinson I liked your story about missing out by investing in a suburb(Madison Heights I think) instead of Woodward Ave in the heart of Detroit.Please Tell it again for all of the people that are still reading 10 year old newspapers in the barbershop.A lot of these houses in this neighborhood were selling for $25,000 and less when I moved to Detroit!

I did direct mail, bandit signs, newspaper ads, etc.

The area's newspaper says the community wants more 'affordable housing.'
