Cold calling makes me physically ill

[Geordy Rostad]

I've been dealing with some wholesalers here in Washington. I'm trying to find an apartment building to BRRRR. Nothing the wholesalers have sent me has made much sense. So I decided to strike out on my own and procure deals for myself... one problem. I HATE cold calling. Every time I've ever tried it, I've literally felt sick to my stomach. I don't like it when I get those calls and I feel like no one else does either.

I think my approach is ok. I tried to call, let the owner know I’m an investor who wants to buy something like they have. I just had a couple of questions like, hey, do you have a good property manager? Or hey, what sort of rent are you getting? Still getting blown out of the water. I’m always amazed when I hear that this strategy is working for someone. Most of my numbers seem to be disconnected.

Anyone have any good advice? I feel like this is the best way to get the absolute best deal but I’m just not sure I’m cut out for this approach.
