Wholesaling Advice for a Newbie

Hi everyone! So, I'm hoping to start my wholesale campaign in Lexington Kentucky at the beginning of October. I have decided to buy a list and do a direct mail campaign. I am reading J. Scott's book on estimating rehab costs in preparation. And, I am researching for an affordable second phone service(and phone) with good coverage, strictly for wholesaling. I want to be an ethical wholesaler who can help people and also offer accurate estimates for cash buyers. I believe in win-win situations, and that's what I hope to facilitate. I was wondering what types of sellers I should target. What types of sellers have you found to be most motivated and why? What companies have the best lists or direct mail services and why? What phone services(and phones) would you suggest? What are some mistakes you've made, and what did you learn from those experiences? I really appreciate any suggestions you might have! Thanks!

Welcome to B/P great place to network and learn. I have been blessed that over 30 years ago I was introduced to my mentor and he taught me the land business.  A great mentor is the best place to start and moved me along so much faster as he had a cookie cutter money making machine that I just needed to plug into.

See you around good luck here,
