Hello BiggerPockets Community,

I hope this message finds everyone well and thriving in their real estate endeavors. I've been an active member of this community, soaking up knowledge, sharing my experiences, and networking with many of you. Today, I'm reaching out to gather insights and advice on a specific challenge I'm facing: expanding my buyer's list for off-market real estate inventory.

As many of you know, having a robust and responsive buyer's list is crucial for efficiently wholesaling or flipping off-market properties. It enables us to quickly move inventory and ensure we're connecting the right properties with the right investors. However, despite having some success, I find myself at a plateau, struggling to grow my list further and enhance its quality.

I've employed standard practices such as networking at local real estate events, leveraging social media platforms, and utilizing email marketing campaigns. While these methods have brought me to where I am, I believe there's more I can do to tap into a wider pool of potential buyers, especially those who are highly motivated and capable.

Here are a few questions I have for the community:

1. 1. What innovative or underutilized strategies have you found effective in growing your buyer's list?
2. 2. How do you qualify and segment your list to ensure you're sending the right deals to the right investors?
3. 3. Are there any tools or platforms outside of the usual suspects (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.) that you've found particularly useful?
4. 4. How do you maintain engagement and interest from your list over time, preventing it from going stale?

I'm all ears for any advice, from broad strategies to specific tactics or tools that have worked for you. I believe that by sharing our collective wisdom, we can all find new ways to succeed in this competitive space.

Thank you in advance for your time and insights. I look forward to reading your responses and engaging in further discussions.

Cheers!

Hey Everyone!

I am looking to gain some insight into my business.  I am a real estate investment agent and I have been working with many buyers.  I have recently been running into the issue of having investors go out to a deal with interest and then talking themselves out of the deal on the way home.

If you have run into this issue before as well and have overcome it, what are some good strategies to secure the deal before leaving the driveway?  I am generally very nice with my investors, do I need to become more hard-headed and push them more or is it rather an issue of my preparation before going to see a property?  All my investors have been vetted so I would think they should be grabbing all my deals.

I'd love to hear some success stories or advice so please share with me anything you think could help!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Hey Max!

I'm excited to hear about you getting into the REI game!

If you're on the hunt for passive income deals I'd love to connect and assist in your search!  My company has markets all over the country, but I am focused in STL MO.  I know you are just getting into things so I be happy to help inform you on how some deals operate and maybe bring you one!

I'd say the best thing to do now is establish a market to research and find a team that you trust in that market to help manage your deals (assuming it isn't gonna be you personally).  There are plenty of hot markets out there and I'd say don't get lost in the sauce and really hone in on one to master first!

Shoot me a DM and we can chat more!

Cheers!

Hey Everyone,

I have a property under contract that is a mixed-use commercial property.  It needs a lot of work, but I am selling it for very cheap.

The issue I'm running into is I look at my buyers list and I can't say that I have anyone that would be interested in this deal.  Is there a website or Facebook Group that would be better suited to promote this property?  I feel like all the buyers I have talked to are only interested in strictly residential properties.  At this point, I am wondering if similar properties are worth acquiring.

If anyone has had a service or group that has worked to find these buyers in the past please let me know!  Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hey Y'all!

I am relatively new to the investing side of real estate and have been looking to build my list of qualified investors.

I think a great strategy for this would be to reach out to agents already working with investors!  

I am seeking some advice on how to find this kind of agent so that I am not bothering other agents who just aren't interested.

Any strategy or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I am a new REI agent and I am just getting my book of investors started. What are some of the best practices to find new buyers in a market such as Missouri? I have found a lot of use with Facebook groups, but it is not bringing in leads at the rate I would like while trying not to spam the feed. I have networking events in the future, but am looking for something I can use online until then. Our deals move quickly and I don't want to miss out on making good deals.
