I once spent 3 grand in a week on full color newspaper advertising....lol Got 1 call.

ad in today's paper

Duplex
$35,000
fully rented $450 and $490

I said that's to good to be true as I'm dialing my real estate agent. Yes the paper is wrong , it's $225 for each side.

:beer:

They hear on the news all the bad things going on with real estate and don't think twice about it.Then when the subject of RE comes up, all the can repeat is what they've heard on the news or read in the newspaper, "man, real estate is really bad right now", "people are losing a lot of money in real estate".Nobody really thinks twice about what it really means when RE is low.

I’m sure that the panic and fear that is currently lurking in every news paper, every television station and at every kitchen table could have us all standing in our underwear with nowhere to live and nothing to eat in 10 years.

Got 8 calls in 1 day last week off a 4 line newspaper ad.

I have subscribed to my local city legal newspaper and I am wondering if it is more effective to campaign to the people who have just had Lis Pendens filed or the records of the Foreclosure sale itself.

TALK TO PEOPLE about your business.Have you tried signs and newspaper ads.

I can also save money on ads and go to the Sec8 office and let them know of an available unit for rent and they'll place it on their available units list and I'll get calls 1-3 days later and have it rented in 3 days max without a newspaper ad.

July 1, 2008Local sheriff sale websites post sale prices.Local newspapers post area sales in central Ohio.Some auditor websites have comparable sales data.Check with local real estate investing clubs.Perhaps local investors will share their information on recent deals.Ohio has alot of reo opportunities.

Look at newspaper ads, craigslist, and call for-rent signs in the same area.Around here a decent 2 BR SFR will rent for about $800 on either side of town.
