I am a CPCU and as such I have expert witnessed in 3 trials exactly as this goes.

Double-entry accounting is needed to create a true Balance Sheet that tracks items like your basis and accumulated depreciation. 2) REI Hub is very customer service oriented- we offer onboarding calls to everyone who signs up for a free trial and provide ongoing phone and email support. 3) REI Hub is a paid subscription (30 day free trial), while Stessa is free.

You can maximize the use of the property by renting it by room.This house hack strategy works very well if you are close to university, college, clinics, hospitals, businesses, ....College students, young professionals, travelling nurses are all good candidates for rent by room houses.Regarding marketing them, Craigslist and Facebook market place are both good places to market your property.

You have to figure out out by trial and error.  

There’s nothing that can teach you better than experience and trial and error.

Maybe I should try everything for a trial period and see what works best...Just wanted to throw this out there to see what is working for others and if there is anyone that could push me in the right direction.

Moreover, older sellers prefers direct mail over phone call.Facebook ads is also good but not the best when it comes in finding sellers.SEO is more long term strategy than some of the other but can be very effective in the long term.The key to being successful with Real Estate Marketing is consistency and the only way to find what marketing strategy works for your market is by trial and error.Good Luck to you!

But it is very detailed, from advertising to closing to exit strategies, on and on.The best part is: I listen to it FREE on Amazon with the free 30 day "Audible" trial.

Some of this knowledge comes from other REI but even more is from trial and error. 

A lot of 'trial and error' and nasty calls from people who want off your mail lists.
