I don't mean to bombard you however I'd like to be as honest as possible with you. 

Definitely don't mention how much money you have at a convention or you will likely be bombarded with people. 

There are a lot of tenants out there who will bombard you with excuses as to why they can't pay rent on time or at all. 

@Noelle Pritchard Barkley I'm glad you haven't been bombarded by spammy "invest with me" messages and scammers lol 🙃To answer your question, specifically: If I had $500k, I'll invest in a Multifamily deal either directly or with a sponsor in a mid-size market in Texas. 

it can be overwhelming as you'll soon be bombarded with lead generation offers (for pay) but your best source is always those who already know and trust you! 

I'm turned off by Zillow, Trulia and Realtor lead generation due to the bombarding of calls that clients can suddenly received if the lead is sent to multiple agents.  

However, based on my experience, setting you up for alerts is free and very easy for an agent, you just need to be specific with your criteria so that you are not bombarded with emails about properties that you have no interest in.As for how to approach an agent and get the email alerts set up, go to some REA meetings in your area and ask other investors who they use as a realtor.

I have called A LOT of people the last few days, and I realize we already get bombarded with ads, so I wanted to add a fun and energetic approach to my calls!

Sorry to bombard you with more questions in response but the number of posts on bigger pockets, podcasts, and even webinar replays (as a pro member you can access these at anytime) that can give you a lot more information than I ever could in one reply.

They've probably been bombarded by debt collectors, realtors, wholesalers, etc., and are just tired of it on top of everything else they're dealing with during a difficult time in their lives.
