Driving for dollars in todays market
I’ve always purchased my flips from wholesalers, but they don’t seem to be getting any decent deals under contract as of the last several months
I am considering starting to go direct to seller myself. I keep hearing the numbers thrown around that you’ll get 1 deal for every 200 driving for dollars house you write down. This seems EXTREMELY generous. I imagine you’ll only end up getting 20 of those 200 to pick up the phone. So we’re closing 1/20 people we talk to? Seems far fetched to me
Curious what peoples experience has been specifically in driving for dollars, and specifically in recent times
Thanks!

Hey @Steven Barr,
I would be curious to know the actual KPIs of people successfully doing D4D. We don't entertain that as an option because it's not scalable in our opinion.
To @Jerryll Noorden point, if you are in the business for the long run, you are better off learning how to make them chase you, not the other way around.
