Yes - I tried a paid social media campaign (FB Ads) to locate accredited investors, but it did not yield the desired results, so I no longer use this strategy.

Using a fixed term lease allows me to immediately begin advertising for my next tenant as soon as the lease is signed.

Austin REIA is set up such that the "free" portion is a short teaser at the beginning of the meeting, ( which you will be told you can only attend free once)then, to see the presentation they advertised, you get the slick and smarmy enticement as though you were being invited to the champagne room or buying bottle service in Vegas. 

If you want to source your own off-market deals you can drive for dollars, do direct mail campaigns, door knock, and cold call.

If you advertise your property on Zillow you can literally have a renter in 48 hours if you want.  

If you leave the State, be very careful in investing in any "turn key" opportunities that you see advertised. 

What the hell is Facebook doing advertising rental property in the first place?

This can be done by reaching out to homeowners or landlords who are open to owner financing or lease options, or by searching for properties that are already listed for sale with these terms.Direct mail: Sending direct mail campaigns to homeowners or landlords who may be open to owner financing or lease options can be an effective way to find deals.

I’ve been aggressively researching for about a month and am about to put out my first direct mail campaign with some online marketing.

Hello AllI am wondering if anyone has used this crowdfunding platform and was able to get their principal back along with the returns they advertise?
