Recommendation request - Wholesalers and other lead sources

Travis White

Hey BP!

How are yall finding your leads? House flooded in Harvey, but up til then I was on a mailing list for 2-3 wholesalers. The soggy house issue is getting resolved, so now I'm back to looking through leads.

Anyway, what mailing lists are out there that yall like? Right now, I'm getting leads for Jet, H&L, and New Western but I'd like to expand that as much as possible. Any recommendations for good wholesalers? 

Does anyone around here utilize an MLS search or other lead generating software? I used Quest through Lifestyles Unlimited for about a month but I'm interested in checking out other options.

Lastly, I wanted to  ask about some your experiences negotiating with wholesalers - do you do it, any specific strategies, how has it gone? I spent about 2 months looking at deals before Harvey and I felt like I was constantly finding deals that were pretty "thin". Do wholesalers tend to price their deals with room for negotiation? Is the industry standard a no-haggle, take it or leave it price? I want to form solid relationships and I don't want insult anyone by trying to penny-pinch but I also want to try and get the best deal I can. 

Thanks all!!

Travis
