Wholesaling

Hi Friends,

I want to start wholesaling in near Los Angeles (Glendale, Pasadena, Montrose). I'm looking to get pre-foreclosure houses under contract to sell. I'm wondering if people have had more luck with bandit signs, direct mailings or door hangers to find those types of properties. 

Thanks so much,

I'm an investor/flipper in the south bay.  I don't do any marketing anymore but when I did i had some success with direct mail.  Bandit signs are great but they can be a lot of work.  City throwing them away, people taking them, etc.  

However, you can usually hire someone to put bandit signs out for you for pretty cheap.  I recommend Friday afternoons, as the city is closed so they won't take them down until Monday morning.

The best thing i find though, is door knocking.  Find a farm and get to know everyone.  Network, ask questions, be help and you will find deals.

If you'd like to farm in the South Bay, I'll be happy to buy your deals!! :)

Good luck!
