@Abel Vazquez, Get a cheap phone and give that number out and answer the phone when it rings you never know when there is a real deal on the other end.

Website generates about 5 leads a month or so ($100/mo Adwords) the rest I get from agents and networking.If you are timid on the phone paying lots of money to get your phone to ring is probably not going to pay well.

Basically you are setting up the phones to ring when someone calls the google voice number.

YouTube is a great resource for videos on sheetrock patching, replacing tank components for toilets, wax rings, replacing broken faucets, fixing drains, etc.Those are just a few things that come to mind for me that are fairly simple.

It depends on rural, suburban, or urban core areas how far you go out in evaluation ring of an area.What I look at is violent to non-violent crimes in the area and if the frequency is flat, decreasing, increasing and by what pace.There will always be crime especially tied to population levels.

LTV of 60 or 80 out of state or in... someone else is mailing and you know what, their phone is ringing not yours.

Up until this year I carried around a $25 cell phone I bought off ebay that's biggest feature was it went "ring ring".

With the system I use, I can get the calls forwarded to my cell phone, it rings with the number I have so I know it is a client calling and make it priority to pick it up.

Most of my buys come off the MLS, but I am looking to add in some marketing to get the phone ringing from motivated sellers in pre-foreclosure, short sales, or whatever.

I used a friends phone today and 1 ring later he picks up.
