I'm curious to know how long-term experienced agents have adapted their marketing and advertising strategies to reflect this increasingly technological era we are entering.

I have a tenant that is going to move out in about three months and I just started advertising the vacancy.

Smart and creepy at the same time.Ya its amazing I am into aviation on even on BP I get all sorts of aviation advertisements..

If you want it to remain a salon you could always advertise for a business partner who is a stylist (with a business head) and  work out a deal.

They will likely base their decision on a series of questions:- who controlled how the work was done- was he paid hourly, daily, or weekly or was he paid by the job- did he advertise his services (bus cards, ads, online)- did he work for anyone else- did he have his own tools- did he supply the materials- did you have a contract with him- did he invoice you for the paymentsI would strongly suggest locating and talking to an Attorney who deals with Workers Comp. in your state.

When you see advertising for 100% financing you need to read the small print where it says must be liquid cash on hand for over $1 million dollars, have an 800 FICO score, and done over 100+ deals. 

Its not because I don't have a gun, it is because the place has been advertised as an easy target.

Even so, I see some rentals advertised for 60 to 90 days or more, and when I ask about it, applicants cite complaints I mentioned, painting, cleaning and fees.

Also, most investors who use PMs know the market rate in the area they are buying and have built that cost in upfront when doing their initial analysis, so they are more than willing to pay you that rate if your skills, services, and reputation proceed you.Don't be afraid to charge what you're worth - just make sure you give the client what's advertised, and they will have no problem paying it. 

As far as the type of investments I would like to eventually get into would be fix and flips and rentals, but you are 100% right about the hype that is advertised and I am certainly not going into this with the mind set of becoming an overnight millionaire.
