They should also invest in real estate.Stay away from the rapid refund places that advertise to poor people and overcharge them.

Looking to get an idea of the return rate people are getting from their current Direct Mail Marketing campaigns.

I sure will definitely look into that , maybe I could do advertise something similar with my space !

@Kyle Brown - Be wary of "advertised" cap rates.

I was ok with the numbers at the advertised $1,395/month expected rent, but they locked it down for $1,495!

If a guy can make $10k/month doing simple stuff that can be learnt in a few weeks, he wouldn't be desperate enough to be advertising outside a Home Depot... lol.Gary Massari - Top MLM "Coach" - you can message him on LinkedIn and get scammed by the man himself.

(BTW, I've often said that advertising is the art of deceit).We hear the lame justifications of "sell the contract, not the property", bottom line, you are using contracts as a "listing" to facilitate a sale for a property owner.

My goals are to ,get a market campaign started, assign my 1st contract and close my first deal. 

Justin,Look at Homeaway and Airbnb for similar properties, then see what their rates are and see how full their calendars are.This should give you an idea of how much they are bringing in annually.If you put it this in a spreadsheet and make a column for each property it should be easy to do the math.Then you'll need to deduct for Mortgage payments, cleaning, utilities, upkeep, advertising and Property Management.You can pretty quickly see what the numbers shake out to be.You could also play with the numbers like different mortgage payments, PM or doing this yourself, different rent levels etc.You may be happy with a 50% or 75%  offset on your overall costs since you primarily want a second home/vacation place for your family.

I saw one lawyer advertise reigstered agent services for $95 per year.
