Edit
Patti,

First, renting houses to plant signs is a great idea. As you know, this King has planted many "Do You Own a BAD HOUSE?" signs on vacant and condemned houses. It is very cheap (1-sided signs are like $3 each) and delivers good results. Perhaps you can rent a (small) 2' x 2' square plot of ground in somebody's well-traffic-ed front yard. I bet you could negotiate an excellent rental rate for a month, 3 months, a year.

Second, you should now work hard on doing more and more of what has worked for you. Everything works a little differently for everybody. Some people like post cards (Bill Bronchick.) Some people like classified ads and signs (Your King.) Some people like signs and flyers (Princess Patti.) Some people like door hangers. Some people like "cruz'n for yuks." Some people like more expensive stuff like TV, radio, billboards, et cetera. Whatever works, right?

Anyway, Princess, here is what you do, keep using, developing and expanding what has worked so well for you so far. Then test, and ad new stuff whenever time and money allows it. If you want to have a computer make an outgoing call, you are right, BigmOuth performs that task remarkably well....and your King has done that repeatedly.

if you want to build a nice database of Ret-To-Own Buyers to go into the market and buy houses for, run the following ad.

City. X BR. X BA. A/C
RENT TO OWN
NO BANK QUALIFYING
We Lend You the Down Payment
Phone

Needless to say, your phone will ring off the hook. When the calls come in, first capture the phone number with caller id. Input each number into BigmOuth's outgoing [call distribution] database in prep for future "autodialer" call-backs. Then talk to each prospective buyer and find out exactly what they want. Then go and buy what they want for them.

Good question and congrats on your new-found success. This King hopes to have had a little something to do with it.

The King
