First Property Under Contract!!!!
So about a month and a half ago I decided to stop thinking. I just decided to finally start investing in real estate. I posted here on bp and connected with a few other investors in the Atlanta area. One of whom decided to be my mentor and teacher after we met in person. Well I had already did my research and had decided that I wanted to start out wholesaling because my funds were limited. I had read all about the absentee owner lists and yellow letters, I figured this is where I would start. Well after talking it over with my mentor he advised me to try probates. I had no clue what probates were. Well he met with me at our local courthouse and he showed me how to get these probate listings. I got 10 probates the next day and mailed them out immediately. I added my own personal touch by adding a sympathy card with my signature. Well the very first letter I mailed I got a call back maybe 2 days later. We went and looked at the house and made an offer on it the same day. After about a week we got the property under contract this past Saturday. Now we just have to find a buyer. My mentor has a buyer list and we attended a couple rei meetings just today. The property is located in Hiram,GA if anyone in the area might be interested. Thanks to my mentor and now my friend @Mike Watkins for being there and really giving me some great advise. I'm now obsessed with re investing and ill be mailing probates out every week. Also I will be doing an absentee owner dm here in the next few weeks. I need a buyer list and I'm also happy to help someone if I can just as Mike helped me.. I'll keep you guys posted on when we sell and close on the property.

It is not difficult forming or getting buyers lists by yourself, you have to start your search on the internet by searching "Real Estate Cash Buyers in Atlanta, GA." After the search page opens online, you have to search most of the links by RIGHT CLICKING, and OPEN IN NEW WINDOW. When you search like this, you can always come back to the main page to continue opening more links in the main page, or continue to the next page by clicking the page number at the main page base. You will see cash buyers in your area, then open your MS Excel page and copy and paste their information you can get, especially their names, addresses, and phone numbers.
Also, you will see little signs with phone numbers in your city and neighborhoods that says we BUY HOUSES IN ANY CONDITION for CASH, you have to put these numbers in your MS Excel sheets. You will also see these signs on vehicles as you drive in your city or area, write these phone numbers down in a page, and transfer them into your MS Excel sheet ASAP.
There are more ways, good luck.
