Hi, wanted to get opinions on monthly spend for marketing/leads… thinking about hiring a company who provides warm leads, but wanted to get an idea of what realistic monthly spend is for it.Thanks!

Hey @Michael Weleski I would recommend finding someone who is in your market doing flipping/renovations and partner up with them (get to/find a local REIA meetup if you haven't already). 

@Bryce Kennebeck Are you looking in Tampa, FL market or surrounding areas as well?

I made an offer on a duplex, it's been on market for about 10 days.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

But we got to see the companies who were looking at our listing, which helped us identify the potential market better. 

Unfortunately we bought it at an auction and cannot rent it out so we fixed it up and are selling it, but with this slow market thought of taking out a refi in order to move onto my next project.

I admire your willingness to take some steps and recognize that buying multiple properties and even markets is smart.

My overall goal is to sell houses to learn the market and eventually start investing.

Market OverviewThe Los Angeles office market is comprised of 210.4 million square feet in twenty-one geographic concentrations ranging in size from the 38.9 million square foot Downtown submarket to the Mid-Cities submarket, which accounts for 1.8 million square feet.
