I use www.listsource.com to pull the lists, it's simple and they offer support if you can't figure it out. I then send out the post cards with www.click2mail.com they give you bulk mail rate no matter how many postcards you send out. One or 5,000. I would stick with a targeted list not just a general blast you will get much better results. But remember its a numbers game. You have to send out tons of postcards and do it very consistently month after month to get good results. I send out at least 80,000 a year to tired landlords and there are only about 20,000 in my target area I send out 4 times a year to try to catch them when they are motivated to sell.

Not to look at houses but in most cases to make an offer you would.

Brian Haskins

Yes that is definitely the truth. The bank won't talk to you no matter if you have a contract or not.

You can hire an inspector to do a walk and talk for $100 or so they won't give you a report just basically walk around and talk to you, also you can hire people to give you bids. They might do it for free once or twice but if you don’t use them they won't anymore. You can also pay them.

It will probably have to go through probate. You may have to wait until its over or talk to the courts about buying it.

None of the above. If you want to wholesale you find motivated sellers with equity. Best deals come from motivated tired landlords and probate. Think about it people in foreclosure have no equity why would you try to market to people with no equity? Unless you plan on creating a shortsale business.

Congrats Jon on getting started, you get them to let you put the house under contract by being honest with them, letting them know you plan to wholesale it and that you work with a large network of buyers or you just tell them your buying it and hope you can line up a buyer during your inspection period. Its always best especially when your new to be upfront. It won't scare as many people away as you might think. I don't start the title process until I have a buyer. The title work is generally paid at closing. You make money when you assign the contract, your assignment fee is your payment. Your questions seems to be the same thing once you assign the contract you do it for a higher price and that's your money, whatever the difference is.

You might be able to find a buyer if those are true numbers. I would find buyers first and then find a deal that fits them. If you plan on working with reos that way you don’t have any problems.
