Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and great advice. All much appreciated. I live locally in Washington DC and would really enjoy grabbing some coffee and/or a local meetup. 

@Russell Brazil Looking forward to listening to your podcast episode later today!

Hello everyone! I'm not sure why I didn't join the community earlier! I've been listening to podcast after podcast, reading article after article, and I can't get enough.

I'm targeting wholesale and BRRRR opportunities to begin building my portfolio. Also, just about to hit the turning point and TAKE ACTION now that I've set up a foundation for deal making (email, phone #, cash buyers list, etc.).

All that said, I'd love any advice or contacts. With the DC Metro area market so large, I've been finding it tricky to narrow criteria on motivated sellers! 

All the best,

Garrett 

Post: Direct Mail Criteria (Washington DC Metro Area)

Hi Everyone -  I've decided that it's time to take the plunge (TAKE ACTION) as I've heard so many times via the podcasts, articles. I couldn't be more excited. I feel like I have really done my homework and now it's time for 'trial by fire'. 

I've got the basics in a place where I am comfortable, such as email, phone number, cash buyer list, etc., but I am SWIRLING on my direct mail list. I just can not seem to narrow my direct mail list on ListSource.com to a manageable size. 

Granted I live in the Washington DC Metro area and I'm targeting a large population - MD (PG County, Montgomery County), VA (Arlington), and DC. That said, what criteria should I be narrowing on for prospective wholesale and BRRRR opportunities?

  • LTV or equity? Both?
  • Pre-foreclosures?
  • Sales prior to a certain date? 

Many thanks,

Garrett M.
