You need to Target your Market.

Technically this was yesterday, but I reviewed the absentee owners list i received, identified the best targets to mail to, went to the post office to get stamps, and mailed out my first set of post cards.Today's agenda items including reviewing a marketing podcast and reviewing my marketing plan to make sure it's the most cost effective strategy.

Vacant houses are a target, as @Steve Wilcox sort of suggested ;) To avoid vacancies, when we have good tenants, we do not raise the rent.

I'm going to shoot a new TV ad targeting tired landlords tomorrow at 2pm.

I've hit what I was shooting at but my target was too low.

Obviously these transactions have been deemed not being in the public interest and were targeted in the SAFE Act.

When I was actively marketing to foreclosures I'd talk to 100 people to look at 10 to buy 1.Your lead source isnt very targeted so you are going to waste a lot of time talking to non motivated sellers if you aren't careful.It goes a little different on the homeowners than someone that has 4 , but still the same series of questions:Why are you selling?

Be sure to use geo-targeted keywords in your title, description and tags, that motivated sellers would most likely type into Google when looking to sell their home quickly.

These are ready, willing, and (possibly) able targets for you to discover.

If you visit GA regularly how about going to some local REIAs or start talking to folks on here in your target area?
