On top of that, this town is just starting to reach critical mass, in my opinion.

You can also use direct or Mass mailing and send your brochure or sales letter to your mailing list.

the forum at realestatewebmasters dot com would be useful too, as would the forum at digitalpoint dot com (once you qualify you can promote it in the Freebies section).Yours is the kind of tool that will take time to get going but will hopefully promote itself once you reach a "critical mass".Oh, and a DMOZ listing wouldn't hurt either (submit and forget).

People like to talk so once you have critical mass the conversations should in crease (number of topics, number of discussions per forum).John Corey

What is important is to have both direct to door advertising (direct mail or flyers) and mass media (bandit signs, newspaper display ads; billboards).

Recently, I did a mass mailing to outta town absentee owners, 2000 to be exact, and I am starting to receive a good amount of return to sender postcards in the mail everyday.

After your card information is transferred from whatever website they pulling from you are never given anything--query their name on the web and it's got Mass. lawsuit info, names of companies, etc.

I knew there and then that we hit rock bottom.Property prices went up 300% in the next 10 years.So watch out that you are not caught in accepting the mantras you hear in the mass media.

Is there anyone who knows of a REI club in the North Shore of Mass.

I haven't seen a single property in Mass(4 units or less) that have gross rents at 2% of acq costs.
