Just like the paper is the medium for direct mail. 

Army and working on getting to my dream job; ideally I'd like to work because I like my job and not because I have to.

The side by side family arrangement seemed ideal and truthfully from looking at the place it seemed like this situation would probably continue on indefinitely!

I have done direct mail but I haven't seen much return and I understand it will take a few attempts but I don't money at the moment.

If I meet someone who brought me a deal or asked me for my opinion, I would not go direct.

We're just about shovel ready so any help/direction you can provide would be much appreciated, thx!

I am on Upwork however I would ideally like to work for investors.Any advice would be great!

Only Redfin obtains listings directly from MLS because they are registered as a broker in each county they do business in.Most techies do not understand that real estate is a relationship-based business.  

Just to name a few.. you could do direct mail, craigslist, driving for dollars, social media, SEO, bandit signs.

If you have already turned it into a rental, your bank may require 70%-75% Loan To Value (LTV) or 25-30% equity (same thing looked at from different directions).
