Newbie Questions- Marketing/Leads

Melissa Davis

Okay, so I have been researching for years and have been on the fence about investing for years, but no more! I am ready to start now! Few questions:

1. has anyone bought Cody sperber fast track 2.0? Worth the $500 in training?

2. Where can I get contract forms for state of Florida? Contract Genie?

3. I suck at marketing, it is for sure my weakest area, so does using direct mail websites/companies generate leads? Signs on the side of the roads (I've seen a few of those), Facebook ads (what do I say)? 

4. Any advice on getting a website? I wouldn't even know where to begin! Like, not at all! 

5. How do I pick a title company to work with? 

6. How to market whole sale deals? Contact realtors, MLS, try to locate other investors, Facebook, craigslist?

I am sorry to have so many questions, it seems a lot of the books I read leave out the specifics. I have reached out to some investors in my area only to be told I am their competition and if they were "to take on the hassle of training me I would have to go under contract with them so they would get 50% of my profits". I mean I understand to an extent to pay for training, but they just werent nice about it :-(

I agree completly with @Sean Dolan that focusing on making sure you're able to put deals under contract before ramping up paid marketing is the smart move.  Using PPC and sending tons of direct mail can bring in a lot of leads, but you want to make sure you're able to capitalize on as many of those as possible so that potential deals don't slip through the cracks.  

As my friend, Justin Williams, always says, "Nail it, then scale it!"

I've been generating motivated sellers leads online for over a decade and would be happy to talk online strategy with you if you'd like.
