Having a realtor find you numerous properties is great. 

with email marketing for example, a good open rate is 20%. with text, the average open rate is 90% or higher. everyone reads every text they get. that extra 10% is due to some phone carriers having a “spam text” folder. i personally have never seen this, but i do see many of my texts not being delivered due to the phone carriers’ spam folders. anywho, people rarely answer the phone, and almost always listen to voicemails. so i feel texts & voicemail drops would probably have about the same efficacy. texts might beat VM drops because they could be perceived to be more authentic (depending on how they’re written), meaning more responses. you’d also have to consider your demographic. will you know that the #s on the list are cell phones vs landlines?

Im attending the conference this weekend I think you should go listen to the RE vernacular, network with people, follow up, be curious to put yourself out there so when you do have the financial capacity you at least make the connections along the way(RE is a relationship-predicated business).
