In my opinion, this is far more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.The two best strategies I know are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be costly, but it can also lead to deeply discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

Have you thought about discounts and maybe changing your minimum from 3 days to 4 or 5 days (less drastic than going from 3 to 7 nights.

That allowed us to get the property at an even deeper discount in a really competitive area of NY. 

Like others have mentioned, you should hopefully have encountered some appreciation if you got a good deal on it, which will help tremendously. 

I agree with Nathan Gesner but I give a discount.

Ultimately, I want to add value to BP since it helped me tremendously with my personal real estate investing even before I was licensed.

Hey Scott,You want at least a 15% discount from Retail price, probably more.

But may get a 5-10% discount (from what you would pay retail) or more on a loyal sub they work with.

Buy off market at a discount and a property with “good bones”. 

Income fluctuates tremendously in most 1099 real estate occupations (being a Realtor included) so having that put away will be vital to your comfort and peace of mind as you get started.(1) figure out how your minimum monthly income needs (this may change as you move to a different city and get out of college life, so estimates are fine for now)(2) cut out everything extra until you've put away 6 months reserves(3) live way below your means so you have extra money to save and investGood luck and congratulations!
