A small multifamily owner hunting off market deals often gets quoted $2,500 a month in ad spend plus $1,500 management, and told $800 isn't worth testing. That isn't just margin p…
A recurring argument in real estate marketing work: where should the first dollars go for a client running a modest budget, say 1,500 to 2,500 a month all in. Search is the obviou…
