Wholesale deals

I live in Fort Worth, Texas. Bandit signs are illegal obviously, and I read an article that said that the city is pretending to be customers calling on signs, and then giving them a citation. Regarding yellow letters, ive read that you need to send out 2000 per month, but that costs $700 at .35¢ each. I thought about marketing online, but a quick search pulled up several established home buyers in my area. Auction.com looks great, but I can't afford the $2500 deposit needed in order to bid. How are the little guys getting deals? Please help!

HUD homse almost always need at least some new flooring, but some can be desirable to live in while others may need a lot of work. Lots of gurus talk about low/no-money down investing, but DFW is a hot market w/ lots of cash buyers, so such opportunities aren't very prevalent. HUD homes generally require $1K escrow for homes over $50K. Give me a call if you'd like to find out more.

To wholesale, you're going to either need to spend money &/or time (driving for $, door knocking, etc.) to generate leads, there's no free ride.
