Wholesaling Marketing Strategies
I am working on developing the marketing strategy for my new wholesaling business. I have limited funds so I don't want to start with expensive paid ads right now, but that limits my options. I have thought about direct mail campaigns and like the idea, but that tends to have at least a 2-3 month lead time on contacts. I've also thought about direct contact, such as door to door or cold calling, but door to door is very time consuming and doesn't have the promise of meeting the actual owner of the property, and I still haven't figured out how to get phone lists of potential leads. Does anyone have any advice for how make quick contact with leads or how to find/build a list to make cold calls?

Hey @Greg Garza,
You can use several platforms to build a list, such as Propstream, Batchleads, and Dataflick. After gathering your list, you will have to skip trace it to get potential phone numbers of the property owners. For skip tracing, you can use platforms such as BatchSkipTracing and KindSkipTracing.
Remember that for cold outreach, the cash cycle tends to be 6-9 months
