Getting started with my first blog

Building a buyers list:

Find your local chapter of "National Association Of Remodeling Contractors" (easy to do online) and call a couple of dozen names on the members roster. Interview them and if it looks like they are rehabbers, say to them:

I'm a real estate investor who buys, renovates, and sells single family houses. I'm very good at finding excellent properties that are candidates for renovation. I often find more properties than I can handle.

In the past, when my plate was full, I'd make note of properties I couldn't handle in hopes of getting back to th owner at a later date.

Now, if I find a property that looks like a profitable deal is that something I should give you a call with?

Most other real estate investors have ignored this segment of the buyer market. Make a couple thousand and leave the lion's share of the profit for the investor doing all the hard work.

  3. Hi Eric, Thanks for the tip. I've been trying to build my buyers list and it's trying at times. Here is another tip I don't know if you've tried or not: go to the home auctions and find buyers there. People are wanting to purchase at a discount and they have the money. I found two good buyers. Thanks again, Nancy Dito Bomar Investments
