Newbie Looking for Properties

[Meghan J.]

I'm ready to invest in properties but I'm struggling to find deals. I have sent out mailers without luck. I'm currently revamping that process based on what I've learned along the way, so we'll see how the next round goes. I haven't had any luck with MLS properties either. My next plan of attack is finding wholesalers.

What are your preferred methods of finding properties in Utah?

What's the best way to go about finding wholesalers?

Thanks!

Mailers tend to be a high volume situation.  Most of the people I know who send out mailers send out thousands each month.  One of the wholesalers I've met literally spends $4,000 per month on direct mailing.  So you might just not be hitting the volume yet to get results.

Honestly, Google will find wholesalers for you. Do a search for "Utah real estate wholesalers" and you'll see a few individuals pop up who have that as their business and you can sign up for their mailing lists.  Just make sure your cash is ready because they want to move fast.

My preferred method for finding properties is to wait for the market to slow down.  Barring that, it's just networking.  I try to network, keep my ears open for when a friend says they know someone who wants to sell, focus on a specific neighborhood that I really think has value in it, etc.
