wholesale beginner, seeking advice

[John Vidaurri]

A friend and I are doing our research on getting into wholesaling (reading book, forums, etc.) and I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on wholesaling (foreclosure homes in particular) as far as tips on finding serious buyers. From what we've seen in the area we don't really expect to have a hard time finding motivated sellers.Is it really as easy as calling landlords from "for rent" signs and asking if they are looking for any other properties in the area? Or is there a whole lot more to it? TIA

You need to find out if there is a way to acquire or purchase lists of buyers in your area, possibly from your local tax records to find out all home sales and then try to find the investors in that list. 

Also consider attending your local investment club if there is one in your area. 

Good luck
