For example: Say you, as an individual, can only spend $100/mo on marketing in a given zip code, you might get one lead per month, which leads to one new listing or sale per year (assuming an 8% conversion rate).Now, say you team up with two other people, and start spending $500/mo*, which leads to 8 leads per month.  

Trouble is it was built in 1930, so I think I may have lead paint issues with gutting the main floorYou make a great point about a "master", the 2 bedroom unit has a master although access to it is through a bathroom on the main floor.

The key to marketing is consistency, i.e. mailing to your leads every month for at least 4 months.If you find something good, I'd be interested in buying the contract.

It's not for the stickers, it is for the system of organizing a team of drivers and tracking the leads.

Then explain to them why in your market, mls deals are non existent right now and they'll have to dig up their own leads, be it DM or bandit signs or whatever.

I already wrote down some  broker leads I found on loopnet.

I can find motivated sellers but if the properties are in rural area, or high crime, then are those still good leads

I have a couple of comments for you - I would prioritize goals that lead to deals.
