Cold calling makes me physically ill
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.
