For many rental communities door to door solicitation, aka door knocking, is prohibited. However, no one has power over a mailbox and social newsfeeds - and that’s where the magic can happen.

Let’s set the stage. There’s a group of apartment communities nuzzled together. The demographics of the primary resident is 25-35, single, dating, or soon to be married. They are steadfast in building their careers, spending as much on rent as they would on a mortgage, and currently in a lease with an end date. In their mailbox, they regularly receive a mix of print marketing that consists of a “Buy vs. Rent”, “Just Listed” and “Just Sold” postcards from the same real estate agent.

The lease is coming to an end and the want to buy a home is arising - who are they going to call? With the help of these tips below, you.
