I feel that Austin is RIPE for short term rentals esp with Air BNB growing at incredible speed.

The quality stuff is produced abroad and over a longer period of time quality will beat crap.

I am considered a top producing real estate broker in the metro west area who takes so much pride in what I do.

Does anyone have a blog that produces great results or a site that produces better results over a blog?

Ditto for it being agent owned..my buyers want nothing to do with that.Now Renae, I went the same route i.e..cards, bandit signs, driving the neighborhoods and tracking down sellers(MASSIVE waste of time-fuggehdabout it)etc...and found them to be inefficient or if they produced the occasional seller, they weren't motivated enough..While I don't know your financial situation, there are 800 #'s and ways to do direct mail that are fairly inexpensive...you'll just have to do some googling....you can get a voice mail for $10/mth and get good lists for under $100 as well as being able to mail direct from your computer....if these mehods are still out of your price range, then find a better paying job(I don't mean to sound so brusque) so you can afford to do direct mail...

I read something on Friday about the Green movement taking a nose dive - but I do not know if I could find the article again.I do not speak for all - of course - but most rehabbers and flippers want to produce the best product for the lowest possible cost.

@Will Chamberlin Incredibly helpful!!

Now I have 13 income producing properties...thanks to OPM.

My goal was to increase my savings from the income produced from my current employer for 4-5 months to use for a down payment, acquire a property, and essentially live rent free, mortgage free, and develop an income stream.
