Jacob Baboun Hey Jacob, I think it's a great idea for you to invest in rentals. With that being said, Ali Boone is correct with her analysis as she suggests possibly getting into out of state investments. You're better off getting a solid cash flow by avoiding the SoCal market at this moment. Unless of course you find a deal through a wholesaler as Ali also suggested. --I am a Philadelphia Suburbs native as well. I moved to Santa Barbara last year to attend college and pursue my goals. It is great to meet another brother of Philadelphia with RE interests in the SoCal area. I myself am actively finding deals in the Lompoc - Ventura area for cash investors who usually have plans to fix & flip the properties etc. I will certainly keep an eye out for any MF homes that I come by. Feel free to send me a colleague request or message if you would like to chat my friend. Best, Blake Dalessio

Congrats Stan!! That is probably an amazing feeling to close your first deal. I am still quite new to wholesale myself and it is things like this which keep me going... If you find some time I would be appreciative to chat about your journey thus far, and how you have dealt with obstacles in your path. 

Hey Eric, I think you should consider the Philadelphia Suburbs. I grew up 5 minutes outside of Philadelphia although I live in Santa Barbara now. I am diving into the RE game full force as I am mastering the art of acquiring homes at steep discounts and dishing them out to cash investors. I am still quite new, however I have learned so much in so little time just because of BP... Amazing. Anyways, I can give you some inside information as I know that there are plenty of properties waiting to be snatched up in the Philly burbs. Specifically the Main Line area, along with the Delco area. If you have any questions about feel free to send me a colleague request I would be glad to help. 

Best,

Hey jack did you ever try that site?

@Neil J.Hey Neil I am in the same boat. I have not actually began my marketing ad campaign, but I am all over the place in deciding a solid strategy which will produce the highest ROI in my market. It would be nice to talk to someone tackling the same obstacles to get an insight. Shoot me a message and let's chat if you get the chance.

Best,

@Cornelius Charles Thank you for the response Cornelius; I understand your perspective on the matter. I do plan to find good deals on properties but I guess I am just getting ahead of myself. I want to find a solid group of cash buyers and investors BEFORE I put any properties under contract so that I can close quickly. However, I am having trouble building my cash investors list without any deals under my belt yet. Maybe I should just focus on getting properties under contract first so that investors see the proof in the pudding. I just do not want to promise a seller that I can close in under 30 days without following through. I need to focus on direct mail to potential sellers and not potential investors probably. I feel as if the investors will flock to me once I provide a solid deal. Who knows, I am still a novice so this is inconclusive.

Hey BP crew! I will make this short and sweet; I am currently located in Santa Barbara, CA pursuing my REI career. I plan to start building up a nice cash buyers list so I was thinking about things to say to set me apart from other typical people pursuing wholesale.... Let me know what you guys think about something along the line of this. Greetings (X investor), I am capable of discovering and providing substantially steep discounts on properties reigning between Lompoc to Ventura; but not limited to. I am not a typical wholesaler by any means. I am persistent with my strategies in finding the best deals on properties for investors. If you are a cash investor in the area I am farming, then I believe I may be able to assist you in finding great property deals to accommodate your RE agenda. My capabilities are unlimited due to my high level of determination to pick out the best deals in the market to provide for my clients. My seller's lists are established to produce high ROI's which my clients admire. My criteria is your criteria; let me know what you need and I will provide. Look forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Blake Dalessio .... Anything I should change? Is it too elementary? Could really use some feedback guys. Thanks

Welcome to bigger pockets!! Check out the podcasts for sure; they are very informational in regards to expanding your knowledge in RE. Also, check out the ultimate beginners guide thread. Good luck!

I have began my REI career last week. In that week I have went through a complete mental shift in my life. My goals are suddenly attainable, my days have more meaning, and my opportunities are endless. Real Estate has opened up an amazing outlet towards achieving success in my life.

Joe I have been searching for someone who is doing direct mail; that is great to hear that you are pursuing this route. What obstacles have you faced in developing the mail content to persuade consumers?
