Marketing, and finding my first Lead

[Haitham Abbasi]

Greetings Everyone, 

I hope you journey is forever blooming 

I am a new student to the world of investing in the city of Phoenix, Arizona. I have been at it, Reading, learning, and gathering information. I am trying to even get my first lead so I can get started with the business of Wholesaling. There for my budget is very minimal (I am a college student).

I have purchased business cards that say "WE BUY HOUSES". Also have been posting flyers by the Bus stops that offer rewards for finding a vacant properties at the time of closing. 

What would be the best Marketing strategy  ? Online marketing ? where to and ways to finding my very first deal

I appreciate your knowledge in advance

 Greetings to you as well Haitham. 

You mention your budget is very limited, how limited are we talking? Keep in mind that it does actually take money to get into wholesaling (in the form of marketing mostly), it may not be a lot of money you need but it's still a necessary component. However, that does not mean you can't exhaust your free options such as Craigslist, referrals (through agents or friends), Backpage, etc. 

As far as the best marketing strategy, that's pretty area specific honestly. I generally use yellow letter direct marketing campaigns but your area might take postcards a lot better. I would say start with the yellow letters and go from there. 

The key to marketing is consistency, you want to keep touching the sellers every 4-6 weeks with your mailing for about 6 months.
