but the small town and the lack of cell coverage has been a major drawback in getting people into the house.I guess I will look over my expenses now and see if I can make something like this work.

After about a months worth of marketing and no calls, finally a few days ago my phone started ringing again....several a day...not bad.

the best way to do either is to post here and other internet forums. look for someone with experience that is willing to teach you the proper protocol. make yourself known and get your sign posted that you are in business everywhere you can. be prepared to put in some long hours and alot of phone calls. i have over 6000 minutes on my cell this month and over 4500 emails to my inbox. the banks dont deal with anyone that dosnt have the cash to perform so if you dont have a solid buyer backing you up it is not to often that you can find a direct source but you cant stop trying everyday. remember, behind every dud is a stud.

Your writing style for ads can make a difference; your phone and/or in person presentation will have an effect.

It looks like you are in OR given the area code for the phone number.

Make columns for their name, address, email, phone, and what types of properties they are looking for.

Skype has been suggested and that will work for phone interviews.

I've been a holder of mostly growth / alternative energy stocks . . .My fave:MEMC Electronics - WFR - makes the silicon wafers that are used in solar cells

Got a letter from a low-life, scumbag, waste of skin TV contingency lawyer on that one.Then, a woman was driving her car while talking on the phone and carrying her hot coffee.

I have recieved a phone call from a lady in Tampa FL who is 3 months behind on her mortgage payments and wants to get rid of the property.She was working with another investor but she has not been able to get in touch with him for weeks.
