How much advertising can you do in the local papers for $150.00?

Advertise your house for about half what it’s worth during a 5 day period starting any WEDNESDAY you choose, show it ONLY Saturday and Sunday for a few hours each day, and sell it Sunday night.

The retail price for good 2/1 homes are being advertised at about 100K to 120K but there are a few good deals tucked in here and there for 60K to 75K.

That is aside from word of mouth, and the people you already know.I have been advertising in the local paper where our sales ads are in the real estate section of the local paper.

The company 'Window World' is advertising any white double hung window replacement installed for $189.

I would recommend you do some reading on here and think about what avenue you want to try first; such as buying properties and rehabbing them, buying properties and renting them out, wholesaling, etc.Wholesaling is pretty unique in that it allows you to get started with very little money (just minor advertising and such) and without taking a lot of risks.

I have been advertising in the classified section of the newspaper, I have done one direct mail drop, bandit signs every friday afternoon in my farm area, newsletter advertising, writing to expireds (I am also an agent with access to mls) and I have yet to do my first deal!

These are good for craigslist, online advertising.

That would make a much higher (but incorrect) NOI as they would be leaving out utilities, evictions, legal costs, advertising, payroll, etc. etc. etc.Bottom line, if you calculate true and accurate NOI figures as you should, then yoour NOI will be accurate enabling you to accuratley calculate your DSCR.

I've seen buyer agents advertise on Craigslist that they work with investors.
