jon, i can see why you financed...with a 4% loan or less(have you seen what they're advertising now??)..

my OLD body cant stand a sawsall.Better yet would be that flat bladed dremel tool they advertise on TV.

Steve - Look above and below the menu system . . . you'll see an advertisement.

I am a much bigger fan of just adjusting your rent and advertising to help tune your vacancy rate.

SWEET, advertising on the cheap!!!

I am curious about the auctions, but have no idea how it all works.I am starting to use the web for my research, but everything is flooding with advertising and spam garbage.

Here is one we use http://www.tonyseverino.com/m/19000/19444/files/Consulting/Forms/Advertising/20-SYHAI_PostIt_Wide_5x3%20V%202.0.pdfYou should consider using a different postcard, however keep the same design, but mix up the message a bit.When considering drips you should know the decision making period for your list.

If I get a few days advertising out of them...I'm happy.

Period.So if you want to reduce your prospective tenant pool, don't advertise w/ W/D.

I look forward to the results of your research.Remember people like doing business with people they like and trust.Treating tenants with respect and like the gold they are is a given.Doing something special for a tenant will provide long term goodwill.Some of my favorite tenant incentives include;Providing onsite or local daycare through the local churchFree pizza coupons given to the parents the day before their birthdayTenant BBQcar wash couponSundaes on SundayChoice of incentives for lease renewal the items designed to improve the unit value such as ceiling fan, painting of a room, new high efficiency shower head etc.As you can see some of these benefit the local business community which works both ways when advertising for a vacancy.
