Angry Voicemail from Direct Mail Campaign
I just received an angry voicemail from a homeowner who left a message saying “Typical bullsh*t” and then hung up the phone. I called back to genuinely get his information to take him off the mailing list, but when he answered and I identified myself he hung up on me. It’s funny how someone leaves an angry voicemail, but then when confronted with a live person they can’t even say a word. Anyone have any similar situations?

@Caleb Heimsoth yeah I've actually purchased two rentals myself and am currently doing a complete renovation of one now. I've just never attempted to find deals through wholesaling. The two rentals I've purchased have been off the MLS, so I wanted to try my hand marketing for motivated sellers.
I’ve definitely seen the wholesale deals where the numbers are completely unrealistic.
