What Criteria Should I Search For to Find Sellers for Wholesale Deals?

[Alvin Grier]

I am currently using RealQuest to put together contact lists for potential properties to wholesale to our buyers.

I've already created a list based off of absentee owners that have properties in my area that don't live in the area.

Now I'm looking to identify the other criterion I should be looking for to create additional lists.

Questions:

1. Is it a good idea to contact absentee owners that live in the same area as their property?

2. What additional criteria should I be looking for when I'm putting together subsequent lists? People that own properties free and clear? If so, what else?

Thanks for your help.

Its going to take more than 50 bandit signs and 1000 letters to obtain 4 deals a month... However 1000 is the maximum I would send my first month unless I had my lead capture system in play. There are too many infrastructure and unknowns to deal with and frankly it may be a waste of advertising dollars.

Get the first one then second one and so on before you commit to a large budget...

As for your list issue... Youre using the wrong provider.
