How do you find BUYERS?

That one is the one I'm dealing with.

Look for experienced people on your buyers list, who might benefit from helping you along, especially if you give them "first look" on what you find.

I didn't think of it like that...that they are my competition.

Fred Ramos thanks man. May I ask how you got your buyers list together? Did you use public records?

Sorry, try this

Once I accept the disclaimer, I go to the residential sales link tab on the right and look up properties there right?

I don't know if I've had a bad past couple of days, or if I'm just in a bad mood, but the pros I have been asking for help want money. It has really set me in a distressed spot.

I have asked for help from people that have made it, they are successful and have multiple properties, but they won't help me. I'm not talking about on here, I'm talking about in real life, off the computer, I have asked pros that I have met how they have done things to get off the ground and they just won't help me. Why do "mentors" want money from beginners so bad? If I were a real estate success, I would help the newbies out.

For instance, I asked someone how THEY built their buyers list. Their answer was that it was a secret. Do I need to pay these people for their help really?? Do I really need to make it on my own? I understand I need to do my own legwork, but I guess I just need some direction from a real life pro. Why are some people so disinterested in being helpful? I look up to these people and want to be like them, successful and busy and wealthy, and they just won't help me.

Do all mentors just want money? I feel discouraged. Sorry for the rant and the crying and whining, but I feel like I don't know where to go next. Is it up to me to make my own mistakes and go it alone??

Sigh. Love you guys at Bigger Pockets though. Thanks for everything. Sorry again for the whining.

I am going to be gathering a large (hopefully) buyers list from public records. Once I have this information, do I send THEM yellow letters telling them I can bring them houses? What kind of marketing campaign would I use to target the buyers, not the sellers?

That info is real easy to find on listsource.com...

1) Go to create your own list
2) Pick geographical area
3) Go to Property link
4) Click on Last Sale Date
5) Use their default for 3-6-9-12 months
6) Click on equity percentage
7) Type in 90-100 percent...
8) Go to Options and if desired click absentee (this gives you the investors buying with cash)

Awesome, this will help me build a buyers list!

But once I get the list, what do I send them? Also target them for yellow letters?
