Your mentor that claims that there is too much competition may be looking at things the wrong way. There will always be competition if there's a lucrative deal to be had, don't let that discourage you! Focus on generating ideas of how to beat out your competition. 

Massive action generates massive results!

Here are a few questions that can help us help YOU to be successful:

- Where did you get your mailing list from?

- What group of sellers are you targeting?

- How many mailers are you sending out?

- What format are your mailers? (Postcard, yellow letter, etc.)

- What message is conveyed in your mailings?

- How many bandit signs are you putting out?

If nobody seems interested in the deals that you find, they're likely not deals. When you find a good deal, you will easily find a buyer. 

The key to success in this business is having a relentless attitude towards success. Don't give up. Strategic and consistent marketing will benefit you greatly.
