The rules are more complex than we can fully explain in an online forum.

That is online with what we’ve been paying when we were able to find help.

I was seeing information online that suggested both routes...Thanks in advance for the help!

What is the best way to go about finding these property listings online before they go to the auctions?

I'm in a drive to beach market so I'm on it but I would think college towns, mountains etc. might be similar.

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).

Love it.Best advice I can tell you is to prospect prospect, you must lead generate, meet people tell them what you do, preferably face to face, but also on the phone, online etc, albeit I prefer and spent most of my time on face to face meeting and conversation.

I am right down the way, located in College Station / Bryan market.

I used the proceeds of the primary residence I owned in NC to grow a portfolio of value add buy and hold here in College Station.
