Best Strategies To Get Leads In South Florida

[Leo Jurado]

Hope everyone's having a blessed day!

I would love to hear from our South Florida investors on which approach has worked best for you in getting some leads.  Whether it'd be direct mailing, cold calling, door knocking, social media, or word of mouth.  What works and what doesn't?  How much do you typically spend on marketing a month?  Is it better to stay with one strategy or should you always diversify your approach?

I would love to hear your story.

 Hey Leo, great question. I know that you are looking into wholesaling. I have never done a wholesale deal - nor am I looking to at the time. In my discussions and through networking and meeting other wholesalers in South Florida, Ohio, and other areas of Florida what has worked well and been consistent with bringing leads has been bandit signs. With Bandit signs you will want to be careful and check with your local municipality to see what areas the signs are illegal, because they may get taken down or you may receive a fine. 

Other marketing methods that I have heard of working well are looking at court documents such as foreclosure lists, divorce filings, etc. Through doing this you will want to lower your list size and send most likely look to sending direct mail. 

Driving for dollars is always mentioned as it helps you get more of an understanding of the area that you are looking in and will allow you to really understand the neighborhood dynamics. Everyone I have spoken to has referenced this at some point in getting started. Depending on your marketing budget I would recommend going with bandit signs and driving for dollars, but this is coming from someone who is not a wholesaler.
