I started a thread on BP to try and get other investors to come up with ideas that deliver rather than just late night tv hype. 

It's going to take a lot of work on your part, but if you're diligent, I don't doubt you'll find your own workaround.http://foia.ilattorneygeneral.net/pdf/opinions/2018/18-002.pdfhttps://www.propelio.com/propelio-tv/shows/mwdx/targeting-water-leads/

Some companies also run TV and Radio ads.You can search real estate transactions in your tax database.

You can purchase lists with different motivations like absentee owners, 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, evictions, probate, divorce, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, motivated seller website with SEO, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media marketing.If you have a big budget you can do radio, TV and billboards.

I’ve been learning how to do different reno projects from watching and assisting in work being done in my parents house, watching shows on tv to learn some tips, shopping online for materials and learning the costs to get them done and installed, I have created a few extremely detailed budgets to familiarize myself with costs, I’ve studied a few areas I’m interested in and have been following their markets for years, and reading articles on different aspects of the business.

You can also show the our 28 day Contract to Closing Timeline which is pages 23 through 27 of the presentation at:https://www.naca.com/Scripts/pdfviewer/web/viewer....Hope that clarifies things a bit. 

I let them deal with TV and internet provider, but you could easily include that in the rent as well.

The TV shows (more now then ever before) about house flipping have so many inaccuracies and those looking to actually do this business get a total wrong impression of the business.That aside, I wanted to share a common error I have made many times.

That's what I thought too.Just the temporary effect of Covid 19 and its devastating short term effect on small business is shown everyday on TV, people might lose the big picture of the enormous effect of monetary policy of RE price.In 2009, when the recession hit, the short term effect was even more devastating.

Find a way to get on local TV to start building a brand name for yourself.I was at a real estate meeting where local TV personality Rob Black was the invited speaker (Google "Rob Black San Francisco").
