First Wholesale Deal

[Joseph Porturica]

Hello everyone! I am currently located in the DFW area and scavenging for my first wholesale deal.. I have been doing a lot of D4D, Zillow, Craigslist. Are there any other avenues that are crucial to check? Bandit signs? Thinking about purchasing my first absentee list from list source. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

The world of marketing for motivated sellers is deep and wide. It's really quite intense and overwhelming the number of ways to approach it. For the most part, you can hunt or fish.

Fishing is putting out there that you buy houses. Perhaps with SEO or bandit signs.

Hunting is building a list of property owners that are likely to be motivated, such as pre-foreclosures or inherited properties. Then, you have to find a way to get in touch with them. Depending on the list, the primary ways to do this are Direct Mail or cold calling.

So if you are asking questions like this you are on the right track, but I would recommend you do a ton of research in a diligent, calculated manner until you have a marketing and business plan established.
