Banner ads may be ok for breeding brand trust - especially among less techy demographics, who don't realise that you can buy online advertising quite cheaply, but I don't think you'll see anywhere near the print response rate for high value stuff online.You can still get good results online, but it needs a different approach - I've found networking and building up relationships with prospective clients on a personal level to be the most cost effective way to do things - it takes a lot of time, but you get a higher quality of client from it, so I think it pays off.

I do skip tracing for a law firm here in NY,and would happy to find the owner for you , or anyone else for that matter.

Most handle Due Dilligence through BPO and Asset Management firms, though some have an REO dept. or sister entity.

it is no different then wall street, most companies make you inturn for a year with no pay or client retention before you even get a spot. the reason for this is because the rewards are so high and a reputation can be ruined in 2 minutes by fowling up a transaction so the firms want to make sure that the people representing their clients are worthy. these are investors with hundreds of millions of dollars here, what makes anyone think that investor should work with them when they have nothing to offer the investor but an idea?
