I came across a software called Smartdraw. I use it to make charts and stuff for presentations to my senior managers (I'm a design engineer), but it also has a few templates for real estate flyers and some brochures. It's something to start off from, but you can probably add some of the floor plans in there, which is another built-in function.
I think that if you were to use your budget the most effectively, I would just make a brochure that is more like a spec sheet for each house that has all the info that a buyer would want. You can put a whole bunch of these sheets into a little booklet and leave them inside the houses and distribute them to realtors. (Alternatively, you can just have the loose sheets and distribute those card stock folders to put them in. You can see which houses attract the most attention by seeing which sheets you have to reprint the most.) It kills two birds with one stone – you advertise this particular house while showing similar houses that they might want, hopefully keeping the business in YOUR business.
Also, if you can afford it, print it in COLOUR. It makes a huge difference. Include pictures of the place's best selling points.

Greed is what killed and EMPIRE! Bankers, Brokers, Real Estate Agents are responsible for the Real Estate Market CRASH! I am a Real Estate Agent and I work for the County Government in the Real Estate Market and I have worked for JP Morgan as a credit underwriter and I show the problem with the over priced Real Estate Market back in 2005. The Banks could have denied the unqualified customer in the begining. However, they were GREEDY and knew they would not be holding the HOT LAVA ROCK that would be worthless once the home owner defaulted. Because it would be sold on the Stock Market. So now the Banks are underwriting loans properly. I say let all the homes go back to the lenders.

first of all i want to let you know that i am a real estate agent and investor. i want to make this very obvious for you. unless you have a good reputation and profile for yourself as an agent, you will suffer tremendously. new agents and even agents who have been in the business for 6 or 7 years will suffer. let me explain why. there was a crazy real estate boost about 7 years ago. agents were making money left and right and so many young people went into that market thinking it would be an easy source of income. it was. they did not have to negotiate much with a buyer or seller and still made more than expected because the market was inflated. now things are the opposite. so all those people who went into this thinking it would be a breeze are suffering for the first time. if you are resilient and like i said if you have a good portfolio, you may do ok. just as an example, June 2008 i went to go see a duplex. asking price was $199k. I offered $175k but the seller (who was a real estate agent and owner) refused my offer. 3 months later, that duplex went up for auction at the sheriff's sale. i bought it for $92k. i swear this story is true. i felt horrible for the seller. he was so broke, he illegally took the tenant's security deposit and refused to return it when i bought the duplex.
these are bad times. yes, mortgage rates are low but who can put down 50%?
my suggestion for you is the following. if you have cash, go to sheriff sales and auctions. purchase anything with half of your own cash, half mortgage. don't flip anything either. now is not the time to flip. RENT anything you buy. again, i do not suggest single homes to buy. i would only suggest duplexes, triplexes, and quads. this way if you have 1 unit empty, you can still pay the mortgage.
i would not, under any circumstance mortgage the whole property. half is fine but not all of it. i say this because if you ever need cash, its sitting in your equity. no one can take it away. hope this helps

It's great to hear that as a country we are working our way out of this regression. To see the real estate market recovering is a huge and relaxing thing to hear. With jobless rates lower than ever and more and more entering poverty, the recovery of the real estate market brings a bit of stability to the financial world. Especially in a state like California, where the real estate market affects a large community of people it is good to hear that sales are slowly returning to their old ways.

We don't like illegal immigration, for various reasons, and we are angry that so many people are violating the soveriegnty of this country's borders, with such impunity. If people were continuosly breaking a law that you actually cared about (that you felt strongly that they shouldn't break), then you would become increasing enraged at the situation, and then you would become hostile to the people who were doing it.
