Farm Area

[Mike Tooley]

I am new to the wholesale world and I will be doing a direct mail campaign to absentee owners. Living in Southern California means there are houses everywhere for miles. I'm trying to pick a farm area that will bring me the most deals.

I read somewhere that a good way to pick your farm area is to get in touch with a local Realtor and have them look up where properties are being purchased with cash. I've also read that you would want to farm an area based on your prospective buyers needs. I'm thinking a combination of both?

Any thoughts on the above are more than welcome! Also, any ideas on picking a farm area would be great. I searched the forums and didn't come up with much info.

Thanks!
