Newbie to Wholesaling in Little Rock

[Billy Miller]

Hello,

My name is Billy, and I am in Little Rock, AR. I've been apart of Bigger Pockets for about 3 months now. After doing alot of reading and research, and self educating, I've decided to start my new business in wholesaling. I believe this is the right step for me to get started and learn the industry on the ground floor.

Little Rock is a pretty good market, with great potential growth, however I don't have the support of a mentor to work with to get my business up and going. I've been looking for different possible leads with listsource and a couple of other sources as well, but still have yet to truly get my feet in the game.

I would to learn what it takes to get this business going, and truly work the ins and outs. I don't want some one to take me by the hand, and I'm not looking for a way to "Get Rich Quick" but rather put all that I am and all that I have into starting my own business. In return I also have time to volunteer to help a seasoned mentor as well, rather it be prepping a property for sale, or whatever the need might be. In essence I am willing to give in order to recieve.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

As wholesalers we are not really real estate investors. As wholesalers we become master marketers.

If you want to get your wholesale business off the ground I suggest you get good at getting leads...lots of leads.

How do you get leads? Market,market,market,market, and did I mention market. :)

How do you market? Your imagination is your only limitation.

Here are some ideas

Bandit signs (Love'em work great)

Online Ads (Craigs list, Back Page,Kijiji,oodle etc..)

Business Cards( I leave one everywhere I go)

Mailing list ( absentee owner, pre-forclosures, probates)

Drive For Dollars

Bird Dogs

Hope this Helps.

Good Luck!
