Wondering how agents / owners feel about digital advertising?

Over 2% it should be decent cashflow.For example: $2,000 rental income / $250,000 property price=.8%  Your expenses (unless you pay all cash) will be in the neighborhood of $2,200 and your income is only $2K.To your point, most advertised deals stink, unless your willing to accept a low single digit return.

Even worse, companies like Google and Facebook operate for free at the cost of tracking your interests and force feeding advertising on you. 

The vendors that have amazing marketing budgets and campaigns and are name-brand will probably overcharge and underperform.

Linked files have advertised rentals rates for the past 3-6 months in each city. 1-2 bedrooms are almost identical rents across all three cities.

We use the cashflow from this unit to support most of the advertising/marketing, supplies, and client meals for my real estate sales business.

I just got off the CI Webinar as well...before I press send and shell out $1,500..I want to get feedback first..I do a lot of calling and have my list prepared for me and uploaded into MOJO dialer...some of the list I am already pulling like pre foreclosure..the question is is this worth it to get a real time list of Zombie properties (In pre-foreclosure and vacant), every probate sent weekly, and real time Auction list (Courthouse auction within 45 days)..this would be the best list..and real time means fresh leads...if the data is good this is a good deal...they are advertising 20,000 skip traces per month..and the offer based on the price sounds too good to be true...something is got to give...it would currently cost me $3,400 per month to skip trace 20,000 properties...so their data is most likely garbage...you will be able to get some #...but in high volume calling operation a 4% connection rate vs 7% is a big deal..so to be conservative you probably need to add the cost of the skip tracing (in addition to the cost of the program $1,500 start up + $97/per month after 3 months + skip tracing list) since I seriously doubt they are going to the top most high quality vender...I will be joining tomorrow and will provide more feedback shortly...

Hello all,We are looking to target a specific demographic of people with our direct mail campaign, and after the most recent headache from List Source we are looking for a new company to purchase lists from.

Maybe you could ask if you could advertise and sign their lease to get it filled?
