I have a solid company I've worked with in the past. And have referred to one other BP investor. Let me know if you'd like his contact information.

There are inherent risk GC'ing personal projects. Not that it can't be done well, rather the sub may take shortcuts for many reasons, some being they don't know better. I've caught a lot of inferior work my subs do for my projects and others I don't find out about until failure occurs (leaks, shorted circuits, fame loosening...). One coarse of action could be hiring subs that pull their own permits and have required liability and workman compensation insurances. I've used Thumbtack with great success. Craigslist is 40% chance of success. Word of mouth is generally the best. One added point is if their truck's orderly, so will their work be.

Good morning Collin. I'm similar to you in that I'm getting my feet wet in wholesale SFH. I have some potential leads into homes in the Capitol Hill area of Denver. I sent out a snail mail campaign recently. None of them have been filtered as of yet. All of them fall into SFH model. I would love the opportunity to review them with you sometime over the next week or so. -Curtis

That's amazing!

I'm inline with the others that say we all should be setting goals!

Glad to read your resetting yours since meeting the $100K mark

Hello BP world!

I've spent about a month pondering when to have enough information to jump into wholesale real estate!

I've listened to Matt Theriault's podcasts, which I believe are enormously helpful.

It was his podcasts that steered me to looking into wholesale real estate, as the no money down/connecting sellers with buyers, concept is attractive.

I currently own a contracting business, which as of late has lost its appeal.

I know the construction business well and have lived through a pletherea of learned experiences.

Not that I'm bored with construction, I'm wanting a seemingly more fluid cash flow business.

What I've learned, and frankly want BP's thoughts, is that I'm looking for distressed property or owners as potential sellers.

I want to connect those types of opportunities with buyers, who either don't have or want to take the time to find the properties I'm willing to do the work to find.

Based on my reading of BP's UBG, understanding what buyers want should be the first step, versus finding sellers and then buyers.

And, that a great resource could be county records of cash buyers and that that step would provide potential buyers.

Question:

1. Has this approach worked for you?
2. How palatable are the buyers when found through tax records?
3. What tool best provides communication to these buyers?

Thanks in advance for your help.
