I've mentioned before that I am also building homes in the southern Utah area and these are targeted for a particular buyer – upscale, in the $300,000 range of which many are a second home.

Targeted direct mail is my #1 deal source.

Steve MightAs I mentioned in prior posts, we have moved away from being "pet friendly" in most of our properties for some of the very reasons you are now encountering: a 2K floor refinishing on a 1-2year turnaround grows old quickly.In the one property were there are still pets (3-dogs, which we inherited with the building), we have used commercial grade vinyl {think Target, Wally-world, etc} and it appears to be standing-up to the livestock.

I have a real estate agent that I have been dealing with for the last 4 months that can tell me house values and target potential buyers.Jeff S Thanks for the recommendations, I appreciate that, you are very helpful.

It's amazing and powerful and super cool: https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?

After a long discussion it was clear he was a victim of one of his salespeople that originated a bad loan for a private lender and was being sued (brokers/salespeople are targets because the CA DRE will pay the judgement).

.- my average tenancy is 2 years and with my Indy properties i expect to pay $1500/year to do a turn- in the right market, with the right property management company doing good screening, they should re-rent  quickly (days to a week)- even with my turnkeys, i spend 30 mins - 1.5 hours per month per property reviewing the numbers, asking questions and ensuring my targets are being met.- just like my local, non turnkey rentals, some units have had little maintenance, others I've had to spend a couple thousand on.

It seems to depend on what you are targeting.

With these tools, I can insert a website into either one and they will show me all the keywords the respective site is targeting and the backlinks they have pointing to the pages on the website.

Eric, for basic property research my go-to site is https://ripropinfo.com since it has links to all the city & town tax assessor databases, land evidence records, etc.If you're looking to buy the property tax information for the entire state, it might be available somewhere but you'd have to check with commercial list brokers - I've never found one.Usually you don't want the entire database, you want to target certain properties/people in that database, which is exactly what commercial list brokers such as Melissa Data and others are all about.
