Investors and Buyers: How Can I Help More With A Deal?

[Taylor E.]

Hi there! I'm a new investor in Pittsburgh and I've finally gotten over the hurdle of closing my first deal! It was a joint venture Facebook deal, so it was certainly a risk, but it worked out in the end. Now that I've grasped and experienced the wholesale process, I'm noticing that while there may be buyers/investors in the market, there's significant portion of them that can't or won't accept a majority of the deals that come their way. 

On the buyer's end, the most I've done is wholesaling and rent/house-hacking. I've never been an all-in cash buyer, but I want to get to that point. What's stopping from accepting more deals you receive? What are the setbacks during the wholesale that turn off cash buyers? How can we add value?

You are thinking correctly on the add value side. You just need more buyers on your list. Join a local real estate investor group and build your buyers list there. Get them to tell you what they want and go find that exactly. Get 30 to 40 people on your list. Good luck and congrats on your first (of many) deals.
