Wholesaling in Portland, OR
Hey guys! I’m a new investor in the Portland Oregon area. I’m currently interested in wholesaling as my investing strategy. I was able to skip trace a few properties driving for dollars last week. I noticed about half the properties were vacant, the other half were in pre foreclosure and a couple were going through divorce. I’m curious of these three types of properties, which would be best to pursue? I’m still dabbling and trying to find my niche so I’m not sure where to go from here. I would assume just pick up the phone and dial, but I was mainly looking for tips and validation that I’m at least headed in the right direction. Thank you for any input and feedback.

Every one of them. Get on the phone, start talking to homeowners. The best thing you can do right now is take action. As you move forward you will develop a more refined strategy.
