@Jamie Bateman great feedback, I’ll continue my research. It’s definitely something I’m interested in.

Hi I have a question cascade funding website said this:

6. Our on-line note exchange puts buyers and sellers of notes together!

The Truth: These so-called on-line exchanges or networks are often just marketing devices used by unscrupulous brokers to locate notes. To make matters worse, they often promote these web sites to other unsuspecting brokers! They tell them they can use this exchange to find notes and broker them to investors. It's amazing anyone falls for this. First of all, any note listed on these web sites has probably already been screened by the web site promoter. If the note is worthy of purchase, the broker has already tried to buy or broker it. Therefore, the note seller hasn't gained anything special by listing their note on the exchange since only the site promoter has seen it. They haven't exposed their note to many investors, as the exchange promotes, unless their note is no good. That is, if there's something that makes their note very risky and, therefore, not investment grade their note will be listed on the exchange. Then you get hundreds of seminar graduate note brokers all running around trying to find an investor to purchase these poor notes. Note buyers will look at them but will not make offers to purchase these kinds of notes. The result is that everyone has wasted their time and money. Many times brokers will simply email us a link to these exchanges asking if we'd like to purchase any of these notes and if so to send them a commission check if we do. Or, they'll print off page after page of information on these worthless notes, directly from the exchange's web site, and fax them to us for any offers we can make to purchase them. Serious note buyers do not respond to requests like this and will never work with brokers who waste their time in this manner.

Is this true for your website/company? Thanks for your time. Any information from anyone is welcome.

Hi @Candace Pinkston - I personally like to make "first contact" via direct mail. I then take that same list and "skip trace" to get their phone number and email address. I also export that list to a Facebook audience to target them online. So then I'm in their mailbox, inbox, social media - and failing all that to get a response, I call. I personally hate, hate, hate door knocking, but in those rare cases when I do - I can by then reference the prior contacts such that hopefully they know my brand and name. My issue right now is that I'm not consistent with these actions, so I'm working to automate the process with VA's.

Thank you for your response it's appreciated, I'll do direct mail first. Your post was helpful!

Good afternoon, I hope this post finds you well. I'm a no pocket, trying to be a little pocket, in a bigger pocket world. :)! I have researched different things for about a month and I know that tax sales are about to occur. I've found a listing of possible motivated sellers and a way to find current addresses. What resource would you direct me to, in order to learn more about how to contact these potential motivated sellers? These sellers have about 2 years behind on taxes, and public notices have been posted in papers. Would I do a direct mailer, phone call, knock on their door? I want to let these folks know (well at least one of them know) that I can pay their back taxes and take over any mortgage they have, solve their problem. I listen to the podcast on my way to work and the very first one mentioned this, so I'm going to re-listen to that one but do you have any other suggestions? Is this essentially what wholesalers do? Any guidance or direction would be helpful.

Thanks in advance from 

No pocket :)

Hi Mark! 

My husband and I are looking to buy our first investment property; duplex or 3-plex in the Antioch and surrounding area. We are wanting to use the BRRRR method.

Hi! I'm Candace Pinkston from Nashville, TN and I'm looking to get into real estate for passive income. I took a real estate class several years ago. I never got my license. I've never owned a home. I'm completely new, but I have a lot of heart, passion, and drive!
