We just received a text from our realtor that a tree fell on the (detached) garage from the storms last night.

I would also say that once you understand different exit strategies, you get better at asking questions to better understand the sellers true motivation to sell.

Hi i was wondering how can i safely use SMS and RVM for outbound marketing for contacting motivated seller lists and also stay compliant with laws.

They will motivate you, they will push you and they will apply pressure and force you to become a better.

Can I just call or text them?

Has anyone used Propstream/Listsource to build a motivated seller list for a first time home buying situation?

Read some studies (but consider who paid for them and their motivation :-) And cities like LA, Seattle, NY cannot blame the vacation rental market for their housing problems, those are the result of failed policies by years of leadership....Vacation rentals have many benefits over standard rentals that you might consider a) they open up areas to vacationers that would ordinarily not be accessible (not everyone wants to stay in a hotel district).b) they almost always improve the neighborhood they are located in - the house, inside and out, must always be in near-perfect condition in order for the landlord/host to stay in business.

for those who are opening up addresses in Gmaps frequently, I put together a chrome extension so you canhighlight address > right click highlighted text > button there to open address in Gmapshttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/maps-shortcut/nacjnoidlajgponcckmkfoebmipbgbfjhope it saves y'all some clicks (its free)

We just ask them to text us a pic of the DL when they arrive at the house and to text us when they leave.

People do direct text message.
