How Did You Choose Your Virtual Market?
Hey everyone,
Question for those of you wholesaling virtually, how and why did you choose your markets outside of your home market and what do you like about them? I've been local in the Memphis market since I've started, but wanting to expand. A couple of specific questions that I have are...
What was the most effective way you found to build your buyer base before entering a new market?
What marketing methods have you found to be the most effective for you to test a new market?
Any insight and multiple perspectives are greatly appreciated! I plan to get out of my comfort zone and test a new spot within the next 2 months.
