Active Wholesalers of BP Wholesaling, Are You Closing Deals?

[Tim G.]

I'm curious, who is actively marketing AND closing deals. How much are you marketing, for how long and how many deals have you closed? 

My info: I stopped direct mail two years ago due to lack of response and the cost per deal reaching close to my typical wholesale fee (breaking even, with a marketing cost of per deal $7-10k) I switched to flipping the deals to get a larger piece of the pie as lead flow had dropped 75%. My leads now come from the web (organic ranking) but I can see I'm being squeezed out of the front page with google giving up more space to paid ads (adwords). I'm located in Southern California. 

If you're not a wholesaler, try not to reply. Data points matter, not anecdotal opinions.
