I have listening to Don Costa's podcast on sales/marketing techniques to get the pipeline loaded full of leads wanting to do with you.I am curious for those who do Massive marketing if there has been an inflection point where there are diminishing returns for the volume of mail put out.

Just like I have to hire engineers to do my engineering work  when I build a subdivision... you have to pay for those disciplines you cant do yourself.. its pretty vanilla stuff really and should not be more than 1 to 1,200 buck arros for everything. and since your giving him a sweet heart deal not sure were the heartburn is..

Gas Volume in terms of gallons

These are agents that have enough volume that if your price isn't at least within discussing-distance, they won't take the listing because it'll screw their stats and they don't need the headache.

There's more volume in the city for a wholesaler and no shortage of buyers who will take those deals, however if you can find deals in the areas you mentioned, they will go quick. 

Once you've built up a reasonably strong relationship with your title company, they do tend to help you hit hard deadlines in a pinch, bumping you to the font of the line because of the volume of business you're running through them.But even with that, 3 day close is pretty rough.

Syndicators make money by doing volume and taking slices.  

Personally, I use the potential Cap as one of my initial criteria to reduce the volume I'm assessing.

For us, the turnkey business is more about volume then minimum profits; we will enter into deals that we know have very slim profit margins b/c we have more buyers then houses and our goal is to build the management company with a good portfolio of houses as that is a very sustainable business with other business opportunities that can spin off that.  

The obvious answer is as much as possible but I would tend toward a volume biz and make just 10-20% per.
