New to BP and Wholesaling

[Robert Dubois]

Hey BP,

My name is Rob and I am not new to BP, but I would now consider myself an "Active Member". I have done a lot of reading and listening to Podcast. I recently cured my analysis paralysis and decided to jump into Wholesaling. I used to live in New Orleans but have recently moved to Buffalo, NY. I got a couple of softwares that were recommended and I am starting to source and create my lists. The softwares I downloaded are Deal Machine - for my driving for dollars method, and Propstream for a nationwide detail list creation source. What do you guys think about those programs? Will also get multiple lists from the court because from what I learned the keys to Wholesaling are having a large lead pool that is consistently refilled, and consistent follow up and contact.

Hi @Robert Dubois, welcome to the BP community! Although I'm not a wholesaler, I do have a few suggestions that might be helpful:

1. Check pre-foreclosures and for sale by owners on Zillow.

2. Deal Machine seems great from the BP ads, but I have no active experience with it. The idea of driving for dollars in areas you're investing in, then having your own custom list seems like a great concept.

3.Build relationships with real estate agents in your area--they will have lots of insight and might be able to steer deals towards you.

Wish I had more, but I'm coming from a place of limited experience in this respect. I wish you all the best!
