Read this woman’s story:
“Two years ago one of our neighbors moved away unexpectedly, so did not
have time to sell their house. They told me I could have all above
$5,500 that I could sell it for. I put a For Sale sign on the house, but
made no sale. Next I ran a small For Sale want ad, but still no results.
Then I had a picture taken of the house and had 2,000 handbills printed
fully describing it. I distributed them all over town and posted many on
fences and telegraph poles. Within one week I had dozens of people come
to look at the house and sold it for $6,500. My total expense was $4.90;
my total profit was $1,000. My advice is to go into the real estate
business. Go out and find houses for sale, then make the owner a
proposition to sell them. My profits this year will run over $5,000
clear.”
