I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am if I can get just a few startup questions answered...ENTITIESReal Estate BrokerageREI Tech Company.comProperty Mgmt CoConstruction CoFinancing CoREI Tech Co Apps/Software (IP Involved)REI Marketing & AcquisitionsREI Fix & Flip Co (Same Co as M&A)REI Buy & Hold CoREI Joint Ventures (Flips & Holds)Q: It's been advised that we separate each division beneath one Parent Company 'PCo'.Our DilemmaThe REI Tech Co would be a platform to make offers, auction, and buy Real Estate similar to RealtyBid.com, Auction.com, and Hubzu.com only targeted toward a completely different niche.We intended to charge a Buyer/Seller premium which would be based on a % of the total offer/listing/bid (TBD) in addition to fees for premium services (featuring property, BPO, web based tools, privileges, etc).No doubt the % would be viewed as a consideration for a Real Estate Transaction so the Tech co would need to be licensed.The buyer would have the option to use our Construction Co 'CCo' for rehabs/maintenance and Property Mgmt 'PM'.

But if the end buyers (such as yourselves) are targeting rougher areas that are under development/transition, then I should probably think about shifting my marketing efforts.  

Aaron, since I cant go to my title company and acquire a list of motivated sellers, what would you recommend my target area be when building a list on listsource??

Her methods on targeting Probates are the best.  

They have their ratios and targets to follow.7.  

Our target has been the Bronx, but cap rates here are rough.

Be sure to create a keyword for areas you are interested in and that way you won't miss all the talk about you target areas.

What is the name of your site and what keywords are you targeting?

Your target should be those smaller properties as they are often part-time gigs with partial or even full rent credits.

In your opinions, are there particular modifiers to create your target market, when creating mailing lists?
