Develop a routine that ties in all aspects of your investing strategy (prospecting, research, marketing, sales, etc) so that each day, each week, each month and so on you know exactly what tasks you are doing, when you are doing them, and why you are doing them.Check out this article:http://www.forbes.com/sites/jennifercohen/2013/10/02/5-things-super-successful-people-do-before-8-am/

I've been enjoying brushing up on my old skills, from listening to podcasts to running prospect evals.

Many of these sellers seem to be targeting far-away, naive investors who will evaluate properties based on where they live, not where the property is located.I'm sure others will provide you feedback on the positives of these properties.At the very least you MUST do your own due diligence and evalute the property, neighborhood, city and rental prospects on your own.

Advertising for 2 weeks now and no good prospects.

I would make sure you are showing to only good candidates so you don't bother the current tenants for weak prospects.

That agent will want to show in person because if the prospect doesn't work for your unit they can steer them to something else in inventory & still get a commission.

You'd talk to the real prospects personally.

I'm a fairly new agent and I'm wondering if anyone out there has good tips/scripts for contacting prospective clients.

I was just wondering if others left it in the hands of the prospective tenants or actively called them back.

Hi All, I am a new prospective investor and I am putting together some information for a partner so that we can start the search for our first property!
