 I've used direct mail, ad retargeting, hiring a cold caller, and mass texting. Like you said, mass texting has been one of the better in terms of response, but motivation is ehh. I did get one wholesale fee back in October but nothing sense then.

I've ultimately settled on mas texting as my form of marketing now, because it's a low cost per lead and it's relatively automated (I work full time, 10-12 hr days)

Are you focusing of SFH? I've heard land is good, but am looking on other perspectives.

Thanks

Curious how how -- and what DFW wholesalers are doing right now to find deals. I've gotten no where for almost a year, and have tried multiple marketing methods.

Asking for a high level answer of course. I don't want anyone thinking I'm asking to give away their secret sauce.

Thanks!

Hi,

I landed a wholesale deal and would like to use the money to subscribe to a service that will allow me to pull 10,000 records a month or so.... Specific motivated leads (foreclosures, divorce, etc. are great), but I'd also go for absentee owner lists, or just mining tax records with set criteria. 

So with that, I am actively considering either Propstream or Property Radar.

I understand that there are others ie batch leads. I already utilize a pretty good texting service, so I'm not looking to pay for extra features. I just want the list. I can have a skip tracer, so really I just need an accurate list.

What do y'all think. Care to share experiences? Anybody in dfw use it?

Does anybody use cold text or use RVM for DFW Wholesaling or investing. Care to recommend a company or comment on your experience. thanks!

Hi,

I am wholesaling (a beginner) in DFW, with a primary interest in: Dallas, Fort-worth, North/Richlandhills, Saginaw, Euless, Hurst, Bedford Arlington, Forney, Richardson, Garland, Weatherford, Mesquite. Etc. I just moved to the area as well (from the eastcoast).

I'm working with someone to pull addresses of motivated sellers. As you can see, I have a general idea of where to invest, but the person I am working with needs by zipcode. How can I begin to research which zipcodes are good areas for wholesaling? Given I just moved here, I'm not familiar with the area, so I need some help narrowing this down.

Thanks for the advice!

@Jordan Moorhead I care more about cashflow timing. I don't necessarily care about 50K for three deals? I'm more interested if he got his first deal 10K in or 40K in?

Hi All,

I started a direct mail campaign to 1000 address per month. I have just completed month 2. I also have a cold caller calling these same addresses plus a few more. Additionally, I have "retargeting" google ads that follow people who visit my website.

Over the next 4.5 months I will send 1000 more letters each month. I will also continue with the cold-caller. I got my lists from the county government and a data aggregation service.

By the end of these 6.5 months, I'll be about 8k in without a deal. What's the average time to get a deal doing what I'm doing? To clarify, I'm wholesaling right now.

Hi all,

I began a direct mail campaign (500 hand written, 500 Typed) letters on the 12th. I also complemented this with Google ads for those who visit my website.

I ended up getting a call on the 20th. That's exciting and is an opportunity I'm pursuing. What else should I do while I'm waiting for letters to be delivered? (so far about 200/1000 have been delivered). What other marketing ideas can I employ that will target these same group of people. I don't mind paying more for automation, since I work 8am-6pm normally.

I just really hope this first campaign can present me with a deal, because I would eventually like to do REI full time. But simply waiting for calls has me on edge. What more can I be doing? Thanks!

Hi All,

I'm am very busy in my full time job (12hrs+ on the regular), so I would likely to focus on marketing channels that are mostly automated including:

1. -Direct Mail (in progress)
2. -a Website (I'm using blogger at the moment) 
3. -An undecided 3rd channel (RVM perhaps?, opinions?)

I would like to find a way to drive more traffic to my website, but a service like Google Adwords is out of my budget at the moment. 3 Questions.

1) How else can I drive traffic to my blog? Right now, I'm writing posts that I think could be useful to a motivated seller. I also have google forms embedded into the blog so I can collect information from the seller.

2) How can I compete with other Investors that use website consultants like Carrot, given I'm not a web dev? I would be willing to use them at some point to transition to a more professional website. However, I'm hoping the direct mail can generate some revenue first, so I can fund more marketing channels like this.

3) Given the above, does it make sense to hold off on a blog/website all together until I can fund a proper one? I don't want a "sloppy" or amateurish reputation.

Not talking about targeting out of state properties, but rather owners who now reside out of state.
