However, I think by supplementing the shortage of mailers with driving for dollars and bandit signs along with my online presence and a few other free ideas I have, I think I can come up with 1 deal. 

When marketing to homebuyers in the <100k house range, I'm wondering if there are any tricks to reaching them more effectively than a sign in the yard or an online presence?

Hi Courtney,My advice is dominate your market locally thru social media and your online presence.

Jimmy,If it were my project, I would map all the big banks in the are (BofA, Chase, Citi, etc) and see who has a presence, but doesn't have a branch nearby.

.- Creating a presence in the local market and working with other investors / realtors.

I think I also like the tangible aspect of dealing with properties as a balance to the intangibles of performing and composing.

I believe you think you are defending your brand but it does not promote a flattering picture to the outside observer.I think everyone who has any kind of web presence could learn a really good lesson from the US Air Force in response to these types of things.

So I went with the firm with the most MARKET PRESENCE and when I realized I have been using their site since 2001 in 3 different states..... no brainer right.I sold my listing in 1 day! 

I was thinking that the presence of non-paying tenants that need to be evicted would either lower the post-forclosure sales price or increase the length and cost of the post-forclosure holding period.

We later found out that our "coaches" (and all the other coaches, too) were merely just students who had purchased just one property, and under the oversight and presence of the guru, so they'd never even done a deal by themselves.
