Your Listings will have HUGE TARGETED EXPOSURE to our network of buyers/investors!

In my opinion, it depends on your target market and the property you are trying to market.

The reasons I prefer individuals are:- I usually have their cell phone number, so much easier to get a hold of then trying to call an office line and leaving a voicemail- Simple statements, usually in Word or Excel and just simply say the income and expenses and total deposited- Way less players in the game, meaning the one guy handles a whole situation.

Using your target of $150, thats 54 properties (I rounded up).Cheers!

I feel like it would be way easier to more accuratley determine fair market value of homes, avg rent in the area, etc...with a realtor.

Making the right moves is a lot easier when you have the right education/knowledge behind your decisions.

And many times, the very reason that the houses are available cheap (elderly owners, divorce, "drama," and so on) will make it very easy to forget about your emailed offer - or even your phone call or letter.IMHO, you need to be there in person, looking someone in the eye, solving their problem, making it very difficult to say "no" to you, and making it easier for you to overcome any objections.A salesperson who waits for prospects to call him back will starve, for sure...

You alone must determine the paths and rewards you desire.Early in both of my mentor’s real estate careers, they chose to invest in residential rental properties.They expressed to major pitfalls; 1) too much reliance on a single target market, and 2) not fully considering all the associated costs prior to making an offer and ownership.Example of a single market; dependency on military tenants/buyers.

Look for out of state owners and target those properties.

Therefore, find a good tenant who is willing to be honorable.To help make future decisions more automatic and easier, you may want to consider adding some of the payment terms contained in my lease agreements: (check your local laws for any conflicts and seek legal advice from an attorney before altering a legal agreement)PAYMENT TERMS (TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE)a)The DEPOSIT in the amount of [[$Deposit]] IS DUE ON OR BEFORE [[Deposit Due Date]].
