First Month Wholesaleing - ZERO RESULTS
Hey guys, so I've been making my attempt at Wholesaleing using bandit signs all around my town. For the last month every Friday night I put out fifteen signs that say we buy houses, any condition any situation, and my phone number. I have gotten no good results and am inquiring as to if anyone has any ideas on what I may be doing wrong... Every person that calls me wants retail prices for their house, or has basically trash houses that I wouldn't pay a dollar for... Do I need a website? Do I need my signs to say something different? I just can't figure out why I haven't gotten one call from a person who is motivated to sell and will give me a good deal.
Thanks,
Chad

@Chad Johnson If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it. Bandit signs is just one marketing channel. I would suggest to increase your channels to reach a larger number of people. Do direct market campaigns, online marketing, phone calls, and whatever else you think will reach motivated sellers. REI is a numbers game, so the more people that you reach, the higher your chance of success will be.
Also, you said that you've come across "trash houses". Take a look at these houses, figure out what the ARV is, what the repair cost will be and make an offer. If you buy it right, I'm sure there are flippers in your area that would be interested.
Stay consistent and keep pushing through.
