You might not be aware of it but you are sitting on an untapped goldmine of potential real estate leads. This source is the local church bulletin or newsletter. Advertising in one is very inexpensive and new ones are handed out by the thousands at all the local churches in your community every week.
Church bulletins are often read with interest by the parishioners before the church service and are often taken home after the service as it has news of upcoming church events. And generally one page of the bulletin will be ads from local businesses wishing to do business with the parishioners.
Your ad should be written with two thoughts in mind. The first one is to convey the message that you buy houses. The second message should be that you help people who are having problems with houses. The first message appeals directly to the church goer who has a house for sale. The second message will build up your networking as some parishioners will know someone who is having troubles and will pass the word along that you can help out.
Also, depending on the community, you may want to run more than one ad or perhaps a different ad. For instance, in an affluent community you may want to run an ad seeking private investors interested in helping you finance future deals. In a community where you are actively prospecting, you may want to run some f"or sale" or "for rent" ads to start building a buyer’s list in that community.
There are a large number of creative ways you can use church bulletins to help grow your real estate investing business. It will take a bit of time and effort to get started because you need to contact each church separately but the effort will be well worth it. Advertise in the bulletins consistently and you will be happily surprised with the results you achieve from this low cost method of reaching thousands in your community.
