Ok that's good to know, small market, I'll just have to work harder than before. Hanks for your input Jay Hinrichs !

Hey @Ethan Summers thank you for replying! Ok, i've definitely heard of other investors using different lists they buy online and calling them. Is there a specific list you buy yours from?

I have recently moved to Sonoma County CA, Santa Rosa proper. My flyers came in the mail yesterday from which I went out door knocking. This will be my main source for leads. When I lived in the LA area their seemed to be so many FSBO's selling on craigslist and other misc websites, but up here I can't seem to find too many to call. I want another way to lead source so when I get home from work I can call on people. What are some of the ways you guys find your leads?

I'm very much open to connect with some investors out here or even some agents/brokers, so if you'd like to meet, let me know!

P.S. I'm hungry.

Awesome stuff @Andrew Michael thank you for the tips! Which CRM do you currently use?

Hello All!

Recently, I joined a REIC and have been through the first training class, prior to the class I was driving for dollars and sending the addresses in to the Senior Investors. I just received a list of the properties I sent in which includes Owner information; phone numbers, emails address', actual address' etc. Besides finding out the basics; bed, bath, condition, paid off or mortgage, what's the best approach and good verbiage to use when making these calls? Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Great stuff, I really like your approach to cold calling. Most people are pretty aggressive and have a "salesman" vibe to them, but the way you conduct yourself is similar to myself @Eric Renney

Thanks for the inspiration! I've read quite a few posts about how Wholesaling "Doesn't work" and "you'll go bankrupt", finally some encouragement. I'm actually just getting started my self, what would the top 3 tips you'd give a newbie starting out?

@Rick H. All the vacant properties I come across, I send to the Senior Investors. They, then try to reach the owner. That's a great question, I choose homes that have "written notices" on the door or windows, if the landscaping looks unattended I then look for other signs, like damaged roof, garage, broken windows etc. Sometimes the house will have no blinds, if the inside has no furniture then I consider it "abandoned". 

Hello, I recently decided to dive into wholesaling, upon doing so I joined an investors club in Southern California (Net Wealth Advisors Club). My training with them starts Dec. 9th, until then they said if income across any abandoned properties to email them. So I started driving around for 4 hours and came a cross a handful of possible properties. What would be the most efficient way of finding motivated sellers? Should I continue driving around, or is there specific websites that would be beneficial?
