Real Estate Investing In Down Market

Question: I am looking for a hard money lender to help me invest in Georgia and Florida?
I am a real estate broker licensed in California, Florida and Georgia. With the market slowing down I have lost many things, the only way I know how to work is to invest and I need a lender to help me get back on my feet. I have found plenty of good deals but I am unable to obtain financing due to my poor credit history. Please help.
Answer: I just heard on TV that housing prices could fall down another 15% next year. Maybe its a blessing that you can’t buy any homes right now.
Could you go into a new work field. Looks like bankruptcy is leading the way right now. Could you help out a bankruptcy lawyer with your experience?

Real Estate Website Marketing Business

Question: New marketing ideas for my Real Estate business…?
I own a portfolio of real estate, and I specialize in bringing together roommates with similar interests and life styles together all under one lease. I’m up to quite a few homes these days that I need to fill, and Craigslist, Roommates.com and Easyroommates.com aren’t really doing the trick. I’m also in the midst of getting a website developed where soon I will be advertising via Yahoo Overture and Google Adwords.
What else can I do, marketing campaigns can I compete in or what other websites are out there that could help my business?
Answer: Since your target segment is regional (You own the houses, you want to attract folks in your area)…try some fliers in grocery stores, churches, local College, starbucks…etc.
Also, are you running ads in your local newspaper?
If you are only selling the service, and geography isn’t a constraint, consider using your major metro newspapers…ie, Washington Post, NY Times, Baltimore Sun, Pittsburgh Post-gazzette…you can always reference your website in the ad…put up a free “10 things to consider when choosing a roommate” (probably want something a little more dramatic) paper on the site as a giveaway.
Just some quick thoughts…good luck!
