Consider a mail campaign to renters in the surrounding areas.

The Internet it seems to me is a vastly underused asset for marketing campaigns among real estate investors.

So if you start a focused campaign right now you'll be fine. 

I'm also trying to get a direct mail campaign kick off. 

I'm developing a direct marketing campaign targeted at eviction filings in the El Paso area.

Did a few direct mail campaigns.

Another option would be to do a letter writing campaign or otherwise approach owners about seller financing , where the seller carries the mortgage loan, so they might overlook your lack of income if your parents are game to co-sign. 

Are you thinking of a direct mail campaign?

We are starting our "Drive for Dollars" campaign and were coming up with a script for when homeowners call us.

Have you considered direct mail campaigns to find properties?
