Listening to campaigns and making a decision.

This will teach you a more well rounded approach to RE investing, rather than a specific strategy that may not be applicable in your specific market.I would advise against these courses and instead adcise that you redirect that money towards building a marketing direct mail campaign or putting into your first purchase.  

I read a study that shows email campaigns get the same response rates and are practically free to execute. 

A successful direct mail campaign takes time to create.

Direct mail tends to work best when you send a campaign of 5-7 different pieces, 4 weeks apart from each other.

If you are short on time, at a minimum do a direct mail campaign to pick up other deals in the neighborhood.

Do you run  active marketing campaigns in your area, or pursue the worthwhile deals as they come?

I spent about $1,000 in 2017. 3 different campaigns for a $1 a day and generated about $50k in business off that. 

My task management workflows keep track of my followup campaign and offers go out to sellers with a simple click of a button.
