advise for me as a wholesaler?

[Minh Lai]

Good luck!

Do you have any advise for me as a wholesaler? 

My current method is to scour the public records, going 3 months back to the current date and making a list of every case that is pre-foreclosure. From there I have a letter that I prepared and I pay a friend to hand write the address on the envelope. 

I've been slacking but I've gotten 3 potential leads so far. 1 guy was underwater, another already had an agent working a short sale and another just never got back to me. 

A friend told me that the method I'm using would involve a lot of short sales and underwater properties. Should I continue this method or switch to something else like bandit signs?
