Gaining momentum - Selling time!

Since Saturday our focus has been sell, sell, sell. Our buyer's list is short right now, but we're working all the angles. There are 100 different ways to skin a cat (what a terrible expression...not sure I'll use that one again. LOL!):

1) Called all the people on our buyer's list - these are people who either responded to our bandit signs or people my husband called based on seeing their bandit signs.

2) We'll place a 10 day classified ad in the Sun-Sentinel tomorrow. Will cost about $150 but it will be worth it because even if we don't find our buyer with the ad, we'll be building our buyer's list which is important right now. We should have the property under contract before the ad run is over but we'll just keep talking to local investors and finding out what they are looking for.

3) We're working with another local investor who already has an extensive buyer's list because he's been investing here for a few years. He's sending it out to all his people today and if he brings us a buyer we'll pay him a finder's fee.

4) My husband's uncles invest in Ft. Lauderdale and know folks who are always looking to buy properties, so they are reaching out to a few people on our behalf.

5) Placed an ad via postlets.com which posted our ad on numerous websites

6) Going to a lunch meeting on Thursday with the Broward Real Estate and Business Network and meet others in the local investing community.

We've had interest from two investors so far who will be going to take a peek at the property. My husband may be meeting with one of them tomorrow.
