I spent total $500 on leads (Listsource) postage and postcards, in 6 weeks I flipped my first deal.Focus on one niche and learn all the angels about it, then take action.  

This week would make one month of being an investor and I have sent roughly 1000 direct letters to leads.

Not sure what town you're talking about Roger but it's definitely probably going to lower your number of complaints during the really warm and cold months, which then could lead the tenants staying there longer. 

Elliot Hallum leads it up.

This is called a Lead Generation Magnet. 

. :-)Based on my experience, I get more quality leads from postlets.com than Craigslist.  

Everyone will share where they find leads.

Hey Guys - I got a lead on a rental with a tenant in place, placed by the Tarrant Co.

I'll say my gut would lead me to guess one of two things:-Its a very depressed area and this is a tax credit complex (or similar subsidy) where the rents are fixed at a % of Area Median Income (AMI) rather than open market rents-Its such a crappy area that you're only able to attract the lowest of the low income folks: not anyone with a voucher, but the folks on straight SSI (no SSDI) for a reasonable proportion of their income. 

I found a property lead that I thought could be a great deal.
