I always type this wrong, too: It's http://www.zilpy.com But I bet ziply.com gets tons of traffic from us.

Varying amounts of acreage, various zoning, various traffic counts.

Some cities are fussy about the impact of businesses on traffic.

my house is so desired I am getting people go out of their way to make me offers...so they will get more offers.That is the 1 st scenario.A second scenario... they will go on line to see if this entire thing you are proposing is real.I can come u with a few more scenarios, but the end result is...Seller will go online and guess who they will find...Well if you were in CT...No matter what city:No matter what keyword:With 10X more credibility than you or anyone period. all over the net, with a ton of reviews, with a logo a website, a team, with a solid track record of houses bought and flipped.You are GIVING away your leads to ME.I am not joking..You have no idea HOW often I get calls starting with "Hey I saw your sign on the street,.. or hey I received your card in the mail".Ranking #1 on Google means not only do you get ALL the organic traffic, but you ALSO get a bunch of your competitors leads handed to you on a silver platter.OK who wants to keep on doing DMM...

Traffic, landlord/tenant etc.

@Nhi Nguyen, hi.Each area is going to have a different set of strategies that work best, and a lot depends on what you're doing to do with deals once you find them.If you're going to wholesale, the most common strategies to get started on a budget are a combination of "Bandit" signs, yellow letters/postcards, and a website that drives traffic to you. 

Reipro, propstream, d4d, dealmachine, lead sherpa, batchleadstacker, do a landing page on fb to drive in traffic,listsource, melissa.com

View drive you get the harder it generally is due to the homeless foot traffic. 

You would need a rather large or powerful marking budget to compete with the traffic a online travel agency like ABB or VRBO could bring to your listing.

Location is also key because as a store front with measurable traffic means it's not hard to sell that immediately to another investor looking to crunch the traffic numbers.Here is the biggest problem if you let yourself worry or become a skeptic.
