Driving for dollars and ListSource

[Don Crandell]

I am starting out with driving for dollars and usually find potential fixers at a rate of about 15 per hour. I'm not sure if they are just poorly taken care of homes or ripe for the picking. I can handle it if it's just part of the learning process, doing is better than thinking or dreaming. I drive until I have gotten at least 25 homes to add to my list. My requirements are bad yards, bad roofs (about 5% are bad roofs), and or bad/pealing paint. My next phase will be getting a list from listSource, I want to market to at least 3,000 homes a month.

I am looking for recommendations as far as listing services go (ListSource ect), what are the costs involved for a listing service, for fix and flip what should my criterion be (I'm in So Cal), I'll have to go beyond low hanging fruit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Don Crandell Driving for dollars is a great way to get started. No better way to learn a market or to figure out what should be on you list. While driving for dollars you should use a tool that allows you to save the properties to a list, and will then give you insights into what those properties have in common, so you can target those things when you build a lit. The right tool will also give you instant access from a mobile device to property information, owner contact info, the ability to take and store photos , etc all while you are out front of the property. Feel free to PM me for recommendations.
