Or buy a Contractor display home in a new upcoming development.  

But consumers all are on the site for free where real estate agents are constantly hawked to buy leads or participate in what is now a 35-40% referral business for unvetted leads who think they are contacting the listing agent.Their business model has always been flawed.

Any insights, advice, or local contacts would be greatly appreciated as I take this next step.Looking forward to learning from and contributing to this community!

I am in contact with a realtor in NC and was informed that builders there will not build without a budget of at least 1million.

I have contacts for long and short term managers in the Tampa/ St Pete/ Lakeland area. 

I hear so many things from door knocking to contacting your circle of influence but lets be realistic there is tons and tons of tools that make outreach way more effective.What would be a good way to market to get 5 listings this month?

Have you searched your county site to identify those that have bought land in your area the past few years and then contacted them?

You can't blame that on poor market conditions.I've been in contact recently with the Fairway America team and they've been utterly useless. 

Be sure to: call & verify employment references, request pay stubs to confirm income & check rental history by contacting the previous landlords.Keep the momentum going!

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.
