I know in MS they will come right to the counter.. that is the definitive way to answer your question. almost all states have laws against selling Real estate without a license.. and so what folks fall back on it.. assigning a contract.. but to do so your not suppose to advertise the house in any way just a contract and that makes it hard to do. you would need your buyers lined up so you don't have to advertise .... but to tie up a home that you can't close on and put it on craigs list.. is probably a violation. 

Great points, Jay, my background is in marketing and running an advertising agency (lot's of account management).

Type @ and the first few digits of the userID, then look for the name to pop up and click on it.If I was going to live in the Vancouver area I'd want to live near Beaches restaurant or in Fort Vancouver.My focus in a low income neighborhood in Longview.  

Its not uncommon for some landlords to spend money on advertising, but in my experience that has only been from institutional type clients that had specific marketing initiatives they wanted to complete.Have you interviewed several brokerages?

I have already ordered about $200 worth of brochures advertising that I buy houses and I mention myself as well as my wife in these brochures and have both our pictures.

If you call the guys that advertise they'll hit you with $4k or so around here for that kinda thing. 

We function a little differently being we only advertise and put out bandit signs out when we have a property to sell.

These days if you don't have some sort of digital presence, people don't think you're legit.  

The overall blended return is double digits.

You'd also have to coordinate cleaning service and change-overs.Another option still is to hire out the front-end marketing and contracting, where an online manager does the advertising and booking, basically everything to check in.
