Wholesaling in NY/NJ/CT

[Peter Szpyt]

Hello: 

I am a new wholesaler in the NY/NJ/CT area and have wholesaled my first deal two months ago. Honestly, it was by luck and did not go through the typical "assign a contract" wholesale or "double-closing" wholesale.  

I am looking for good referrals of Title Companies and/or Closing Attorneys with experience in wholesale transactions in the NY/NJ/CT area. I would appreciate any recommendation/referral.

Also - My method of finding deals is farming/driving for dollars in areas house flippers and other investors buy properties in. I would speak to other investors at meetups and ask for zip codes of where they buy real estate. 

I would look for vacant/distressed properties/older looking properties, find out who owns the property, and send a postcard to the owner asking if they would like to sell their property. To date, I have sent over 400 postcards, received 14 calls and had 1 deal. I am in the process of working 4 deals currently in Totowa, NJ. If there are any investors in the NY/NJ/CT area that would like me to farm a specific area, please provide your email address and I will reach out to you.

To other wholesalers - what other methods of marketing do you use that is highly effective and would recommend to a new wholesale?

Thank you in advance,

Peter
