Creative places to post ads

We were wondering if we needed to get permission before hanging our flyers in certain places, such as hospitals and laundromats. In some places it's obvious that you need to ask permission because the flyers would go up behind glass, which the owner would open for you (Starbucks is like this).

We have gone into a couple laundromats and found that there was not a bulletin board up. In those instances, we were wondering if we could just tape a flyer to the wall, or sit some flyers on the folding tables. Is this TACKY? ?

After going through all the work of setting up the toll free numbers and recording the messages and making the flyers, we are having problems finding places to hang them!!

We appreciate ANY and ALL advice we can get!! Thanks everyone!

I have used:
Postlets.com
kijiji.com
oodle.com

A realtor told me about Postlets.com It is only for real estate and once you have the ad on the site they post it to many many more sites for you for free. Check it out.

I have never seen this thread before and it is excellent! I am so glad that it was bumped back up into active forum topics today.
Thanks for posting this, great advice!

lowe's and home depot.

Great idea!
Do it and let us know what the response is.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I was reading this thread but I'm sure glad I did! I'm familiar with some of the websites and will check out the rest.

Anita, you had some awesome ideas! I'll be trying them out myself.
Do you have a link or can you email me what you wrote on your flyers and 4x6 cards? I'm not sure if I missed it but I didn't see anything about it. Curious minds wants to know, LOL!

Keep up the Great work everyone!
If I find anything, I'll post it here.

Here is a copy of my postcard

thanks for sharing Anita...that is nice, and I have been looking into those kinds of things...The wording and all that is important...And I tend to over think things sometimes...

While you are out posting flyers, look for services that may be useful to you in your real estate career.

I.E. I may get into rehabbing so I picked up some infor from people that do painting and repair. It doesn't hurt to have multple sources for your needs in case one vendor is unavailable.

Anita, those are some of the most creative ideas i have seen. I think you should look into T.V. adds since your sooo creative. you started up another great post. good luck.

Thanks for sharing your postcard Anita!
It's creative and gets to the point.

Wow Anita can I say that your ideas inspire me! That is so creative I never would have thought to do that myself...this is why I come to this forum. I have learned so much...keep it coming.

I'm going to try to figure out how that would work for me since my children are in high school but I think I can still try it anyway.

Thanks for the great advice you give - I think you are on your way to being a great mentor.

I'm still a newbie here on this forum and I am just starting out. Everything I've read has been insightful and so helpful to me now in the beginning stages of my RE investing! So I feel pretty comfortable asking this, does anyone have any good ideas for types of ads to write to attract buyers to do wholesale deals with so I can start assigning deals

Do you think I should look for the homes first and then find the buyers or find the buyers first? Or even if there are previous articles on here that I can reference let me know!

Like I said this forum is great so I'm just excited to be able to get some knowledge from someone who has already done it.

Hello fellow investors

I went to have some signs made up, when I found out that I could not put them any where in the city I live in. So I asked about a city just north of me, that was out to. Needles to say I am very disappointed. With all the ideas I see hear I can still get my info out there.

Thank You

You can build a buyers list buy using social networking websites. Some additional social networking websites include www.facebook.com, www.meetup.com, www.linkedin.com, www.activerain.com, and www.wannanetwork.com. You can look for fellow real estate, finance, and legal professionals. One of the greatest benefits is that you can find wholesalers, private investors, hard money lenders and a variety of other useful contacts using these websites. Each of them allow you to create a profile. You will want to gear your profile toward your pursuits in real estate. You can search for the keywords that you placed in your profile, so you can find other like minded individuals to network with and do deals with. The more sources you have to network with others in the industry the more opportunities to build your knowledge and wealth. If you have a busy schedule it is another great way to still network with others even if they are not available to talk with you at that time. I have found it gives me an opportunity to do "personal branding" too. I have used this to find great real estate contacts in new markets too.

My Question is, when buying a property subject to , to avoid the due on sale clause being activated you have the seller record it into a land trust and then you do a landtrust with you as the new benificary but you don't record your landtrust. Is anyone familar with landtrust and does this sound right ?

I found another place to post and it is free. It is corkin.com you can upload pictures and it also tells you how many views your ad recieves. It also places you in google.

That is an awesome way to "think outside the box". Very Creative!

Thanks to all for the different web sites to find sellers...and buyers. I have never heard some of these sites before. As always the DG family rocks!!
