Simple steps on getting your first Deal! Don't overthink it, just do it!

Boils down to these simple steps:

1. Buy a list of records
2. Skip Trace the list
3. Call the list OR Text Blast

In Detail:

1) - Buy a data list (Can be any of the following)

  • - High Equity Absentee Owners
  • - Potential Absentees (Some individuals may not have changed their mailing address)
  • - 20 Year Owner Occupants
  • - Potential Vacant List
  • - Age 55+ 6.
  • - Vacant Houses
  • - Empty Nesters
  • - Tax Delinquent
  • - Code Violations & Others (Probates, Pre-Foreclosures, water shut-off etc.)

2) - Skip trace the list (you can use any providers)Here's some reputable ones that I've used:Batchskiptracing or "dataskip"

If you're dealing with probate or if the primary owner is passed on

Skipgenie (For manual individual skiptrace, these will also show the relatives of the person ).

3) - Call the list - Pick up the phone and dial those numbers.You can use Calltools or Readymode (Whatever youre preference is)

Cold calling is too hard for you? Then send SMS.You can use Launchcontrol to send mass text messages.

That's it! I know I'm simplifying this, but the main thing is don't be afraid of failure! Take action, YOU WON'T HAVE EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT. Just do it! You'll thank me later!.

Lastly, make sure you reach out to potential buyers and network, your buyers will tell you exactly what kind of property (and where) they're looking to buy. Reverse engineer the process!

Lastly, use whatever call tools, sms, skip tracing tools you want, I have no affiliation with the ones I showed above. Additionally, if you're serious about doing this long term, invest in an inbound leads channel and create a "we buy house in _____" so long term you can get motivated leads come to you.
