Hi there, just made it to San Diego few days ago. I happened to go to SDCIA event and got membership. Have to say them guys know what they do. I didn't waste my time even though I have no idea about San Diego market whatsoever I already built my initial list of buyers. I spoke to people claiming they were cash buyers looking for deals.
Now the question is how do I bring them deals?
I can see many of you use something called 'yellow letters'. Could you please give me some overview on that? First of all, why letters? Nowadays in computerized world we have emails, texts, internet etc. Letters, seriously? Then who do you send them to, where do you get addresses of potential targets? Then eventually why yellow? Why not normal white, or blue, or black, or green? What's so special about yellow?
Bandit signs. Do you just print your name/telephone number and some catchy phrase like 'I buy your home' and stick them all around the city? I'm not sure it's allowed to put spam like that on other people's grass.
Driving for dollars. I can sit down in a car, I can drive and I can even find a house that is wrecked - potential deal. But then how do I find who is owner, his telephone number etc.? It's very unlikely he will reside in damaged property.
Any other methods of finding deals? I assume chance of finding one on the internet is really small, so don't bother, too much competition.
And by the way - do you use your private number for property business, or have another cell phone only for that reason?
