My idea would be to put the word out in my community that any random person who brought me a lead, I would pay a fee to IF I closed.My community is fairly small and word of mouth travels really, really fast here.

After lease is up consider finding a new tenant. 3.This website, through your property management, word of mouth.

Lo and behold here we are facing a number of setbacks and delays and much happier we at least took the 12 month option.

Professional photos, 3D scan, SEO presence and experienced agents that are paid based on your customer service experience is what I'd look for..paying someone for any level of service just doesn't seem like a good investment to me.I would also question the ethics of any brokerage/agent that bad mouth's or publicly makes false statements about another brokerage in direct violation of National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics (low paid, inexperienced agents)  I guess some folks feel a need to tear someone down to build themselves up!

@Marty Summers you said a mouth full in that last sentence. 

This has really given us a feeling of momentum to pursue real estate investing (rentals, flipping etc.)We recently came across a home via word of mouth that an older women has really let her house go (disrepair) and she is wanting to get out of the house as-is. 

Shut your mouth you worthless Turd a#%hole" lol

And if you over-estimate, you'll be happier having spent less on rehabs.

We have our own website and also use booking from HomeAway, VRBO,Trip Adviser and Flip KeyOur high season Guest are all repeat customers and word of mouth so they come through our website.One of our high season guest that we inherited, this was his 11th year on property.

We have several units but inherited most of the tenants from previous owners and the few times we've needed to find new people it has been word of mouth.
