Also, the UCO college in town is a plus since during good times and rough times, college towns are always a big magnet for tenants in the area.

Contacted by 4 new scammers since I posted, I'm a magnet!

Car magnetsKind of do a "We Buy Houses" car magnet.

In order to do that you have to know what they need.Research what that person wants and then utilize that information to magnetize the incentivized sellers that have the property type you're looking for and to find the tenants who want to live in that area.2.

Tim,If you send out postcards or any sales letters, etc. always offer a Home Seller's Guide as a Lead Generation Magnet! 

I ordered up some signs and vehicle magnetics from banditsigns.com with my cell# on them.

@Jeff N. ...Most of my properties meet the 4 criterions...I purchase affordable SFR in blue collar neighborhoods..The school system is ok and parks or recreation centers close by...Our largest employer is the UAB which employs about 15K and close proximity to transportation..other hospitals and colleges close by as well...Most people who live in the center of town(high earners) send kids to private or magnet schools....Most neighborhoods 20-25 minutes of everything...

I love how this community seems to magnetize people looking to give back real value to the community at large while learning themselves and I am hoping to find my way to contribute back to the community!
