we hang our own banners next to and on corner properties we own. 

For sure 2017 has not been a banner year for private companies with valuations being very tough to justify.

This is topped off with the $4 sheer curtain panel from this godawful place in Duquesne called Roses Discount Store...how my wife found this pit of retail hell I'll never know, but they reliably have $4 sheer curtain panels.If you do not have at least a basic curtain in place in C-class you're practically begging for a cheap sports banner or flag from the dollar store or a sheet to cover that window.One time we drove up to a duplex we were thinking of buying with inherited tenants and one dude had a Che Guevara flag covering his front window.

On the last vacancy, we actually had two at once, I had a 3 X 10 black on yellow banner made, and hung it on the side of the building facing a grocery store. huge response, rented in two showings to qualified tenants.

I am just about to start hiring bird dogs, and I wanted to get feedback on if you feel my payment structure and tasks are unreasonable.These independent contractors(scouts) will drive neighborhoods to identify various types of distressed properties.Base: just take pictures and give you the address $2Level 1: Base + owner's name and phone $4Level 2: Level 1 + loan amt and reason for selling $6Level 3: Level 1 + research Superior court records for probate information $6Payments made every Sunday, up to a maximum of 10 leads unless renegotiated.Scout will never contact property owner.Optional banner with call number(built in tracking) may be placed on back windshield for additional $25/2 weeks.I would greatly appreciate your thoughts!

The only agents investors will ever play nice with is the agents who aren't mainstream or big bannered.

That being said, Pay Per Click is an obvious way to get visitors, but if you are in a highly saturated market, this could get costly on the major search engines.I had my best success by advertising where no other agents were by placing an a banner ad on Loopnet (the closest thing to Commercial MLS).

Great rendition of the The Star Spangled Banner. 

Banners?

The online equivalent are banner ads which hope to reach someone who stumbles into their message.Reaching a narrow target with a mass market is rarely cost effective.
