CALLING Driving for Dollars

[Dante Nava]

Does anyone ever go driving for dollars and call the owners instead of sending them letters or post cards? Any tips? How often should you follow up/bug them? How much success have you met doing this/doing this in comparison to sending mail? Thanks!

P.S. Would anyone recommend calling instead of mailing to "lists"?

You can have great success but it is not about doing one and ignoring another to achieve ultimate success you should simultaneously be doing both. Driving for dollars helps develope that sixth sent to pick out distress property. I interesting what happends when you start to drive for dollars, taking random turns in to streets you normally would never pass threw. As you tread threw these houses you learn how curious people are and how much info neighbors can provide you even providing additional leads.

I found a house that was vacant and the was informed that the owner lost the house only oweing $10k the house was good at about $35k wholesale. The house was had a rediculous amount of code enforcement violations and killed the deal but it was simple lead to find.
