Cold Calling Leads Through Real Estate Websites
Hey guys. Just wondering if any of you successful (defined however you want to but mostly those of you that have closed more than 1 deal in the last year) wholesalers currently or have cold called leads from real estate websites and found success. If so, what leads are you calling (rentals, FSBO's, etc.) and how are you choosing the ones to call?
I decided that I want to use this method as it doesn't take me away from my family to "pound pavement" (which in my neck of the woods could get you shot) and is not going to cost me money like direct mail marketing does. But I jumped on Craigslist and found too many home being marketed for top dollar and the same problem on Zillow (talking about FSBO's). Then I looked at rentals and saw they were mostly through property management companies.
Any advice is good advice...unless your being a hater, then it's bad. Really bad and better off left unsaid.
