Our CEO joined CNBC today for a segment and story on what we are calling the National Home Team Deal Finders Network (https://www.nationalhometeam.com/deal-finders-network/).

Made it very private be adding 90% black mesh around the pre existing and ugly chain link fence and segmented part of the front of the lot by building a wooden fence.

The problem noobs run into is almost never the list, it's instead the message / offer.The list above are fine starting points, but always best to take them a step further, and segment them by age, equity, area, length of ownership, property type, etc until you have a list of people with fairly similar, and ideally somewhat unique characteristics.

The better segmented your email list the better your open/click through rates will be.

Especially if it's a price-sensitive market segment in the first place.Usually if they market for too high of a price, they will have to go through a series of price reductions over an extended market time.

Explore different customer segments. 

@Rene Doyle a cursory look at wiki shows stagnant population since the 80s, 70k people which is quite small for the msa, no meaningful job growth, 3 primary employers in 2 segments, and a median income in the 30k range which suggests rents no more than 750mo. not favorable my standards but that doesn't mean there aren't good deals. a remote investor will have issues typically finding a great team in small tertiary markets like this. if you have inside knowledge that it's about to pop with a big employer then perhaps.

I have stayed away from properties on active railroad tracks, or a cemetery, or other a lake house with 150 stairs to get to the water, or other items that will make a segment of the market say "no, thanks" as soon as they walk up. 

Can you get in on a local TV human interest segment?

Offerings are often mischaracterized or contain a blend of segments (and the associated risks).
