The purpose of this post is to try to think up as many marketing methods to find motivated sellers to find more houses to flip. My marketing has slacked up a little and I wanted to consider some different marketing.
So here goes:
- Bandit Signs
- Real Estate Investor Website
- Flyers
- Door Hangers
- Postcards
- Dollar Cards
- Business Cards
- Code Compliance List
- Pre-Foreclosure List
- MLS REO’s
- REO Realtors
- MLS Fixer Uppers
- Evictions
- Driving for Dollars
- Car Door Magnets
- Business Card Magnets
- Business Card Stickers
- Large Local Newspaper Ad
- Pennysaver/Thrifty Nickel Ads
- Local Specific Paper Ads (military etc.)
- Billboards
- Television Commercial
- Radio Commercial
- Social Networking
- Old School Networking
- Local Real Estate Investor Associations
- Wholesalers
- We Buy Houses Apparel
- Webinars
- Brochures
- Blog
- Direct Mail
- For Sale By Owner
- Calling For Rent Ads
- Expired MLS Listings
- Tax Sales
- Probates
- Probate Attorneys
- Mortgage Brokers
- Bird Dogs
- Banners
- Yellow Pages
- Coupon Books
- SWAG
- Skywriting
- Sponsorship
- Public Transit Ads
- Bulletin Boards
- Divorces
- Courthouse Steps
- Delinquent Taxes
- Payday Loan Stores
- Pawn Shops
- Fire Damaged Properties
- HOA’s
- Realtor Referrals
- Mail Carriers
Some of these will obviously be easier to do than others and some will be more expensive but require less work.
I tend to prefer the less work marketing methods. The other factor to look at is level of competition. Foreclosures have A LOT of competition while targeting fire damaged properties has very little.
The main thing to remember is that each of these things can work if given the chance to. Don’t just send out 50 letters and then give up because you didn’t get any calls. THIS IS A NUMBERS GAME. PERIOD. Put in the work consistently and you will be rewarded.
