Kay,

It sounds about right. Marketing is all about numbers, the more you market... the more deals you get (If you're marketing to the right audience). Keep it up!

Skyler,

Welcome to BiggerPockets! It's a great resource to use for real estate investing. To answer your first question...

"What and I how do I market"?

There are many ways to market... You could use bandit signs, driving for dollars, and direct mail, and any other creative ways you can find motivated sellers. That's the nice thing...there are a bunch of levers you can pull and see if they work

"How do i make my revenues?"

You make money from your deals. You get a property under contract for 10k, assign it for 20k and you make the spread. The gurus make it out to be easy, but you will find it to be quite the task to find sellers that are willing to sell their house for a 50-90% pay cut on their house.

I definitely recommend using the search bar on the upper right hand corner. Many of your questions that you have, probably have already been discussed multiple times. Happy investing!

Jonathan

Congrats @Christina!

Bump, curious about this one also

I just sent out my first 300 letters from my 1000 name list and found what @DaveSavage to be true. I got about 40 call backs from my first batch of 300 letter campaign and I let them go to voice mail. It makes it more manageable as opposed to answering every call. For those that call and don't leave a message, I just text them and ask if they have a property to sell. Those that call more than once and still don't leave a message or respond to text, I call back. I am working on a possible deal now with a gentleman that called a couple times and didn't leave a message. Good luck buddy.

Thanks @Brie Schmidt

Read one of his free e-books on wholesaling "NO B.S. In real estate investing". It was poorly written in my opinion, and he came off unprofressional

Andrew, I'm sending 300 letters a week. With my first 300 batch mailing, I've gotten about 15 call backs. Mostly unmotivated sellers, 2 possible leads.

Hi Matt!

A free way to get an alternate number is Google voice and it transcribes the messages for you.
