Wholesaling and Door Knocking to start out

[Ross Hewitt]

I have been hand-writing yellow letters to a tax delinquent list for a couple weeks now and am just trying to get a plan put together for generating leads to wholesale. I am in college so I was thinking in my free time during the week I can write letters and mail them out, but on the weekends I can drive for dollars and knock on the doors of distressed properties. If anyone has done something similar to this I would love to hear your advice, or if anyone has any tips or other ideas I can implement please let me know. I'm open to anything!

Ross, we personally find door knocking a bit time consuming but it can be a really good way to find deals. I would advice you to run a direct mail campaign with a small list. You can always get your own list from listsource.

Handwritten letters are good but not a great option if you are looking to scale your business. You have to balance your return on time vs return on money. Expert says that there's not much of difference when it comes to response rate if you use handwritten font instead. You can utilize that time by driving for dollars and building a list for yourself.
