TALK TO PEOPLE about your business.Have you tried signs and newspaper ads.

I can also save money on ads and go to the Sec8 office and let them know of an available unit for rent and they'll place it on their available units list and I'll get calls 1-3 days later and have it rented in 3 days max without a newspaper ad.

July 1, 2008Local sheriff sale websites post sale prices.Local newspapers post area sales in central Ohio.Some auditor websites have comparable sales data.Check with local real estate investing clubs.Perhaps local investors will share their information on recent deals.Ohio has alot of reo opportunities.

Look at newspaper ads, craigslist, and call for-rent signs in the same area.Around here a decent 2 BR SFR will rent for about $800 on either side of town.

(you buy a list from a source like www.melissadata.com) newspaper ads, preforeclosure lists, probate, door flyers, post-it notes, yellow letters, post cards, Craigslist, and others.

I will be buckling down on getting those bandit signs out, and newspaper ads as well.

Phase two would have been paying good money for ads in the newspapers after two weeks of free marketing.

The following scenario is beginning to play out: I contacted a few rehabber guys from the newspaper who had ads like: we buy houses any condition cash!

My plan is to pay a fee to have the property listed on MLS, advertise in all the newspapers/local internet classified adds.

Most foreclosure buyers read the newspapers and see who has been served with a notice of default.
