Cold call qualifying a list of cash buyers

[Sean Dezoysa]

Setting aside attending REIA meetings and other local networking, which is great for people in the area, do you guys feel good about pulling a list of local cash buyers (via listsource, title co. etc), looking up their contact info, and cold calling them to introduce yourself and qualify their buying criteria?

Anything cold is a bit tough for me. But I will do it if it gets results. i figure I only need 5-10 good cash buyers to move a deal quickly.

One alternative may be waiting until I have a deal before making the calls. This adds time pressure (what if I can't find their phone numbers) but makes for an easier foot in the door rather than just calling to qualify. 

I'd like to hear the opinions of other wholesalers especially if you have pulled a cash buyer list and done the initial intro and qualificaiton on it, thanks.
