@Nathaniel Harris depends on how big of a list you are looking to get and have skipped. I’ll send you a PM.

@Nathaniel Harris I don’t have any buyers down GA. However getting buyers is the easy part, especially if you have a deal. I was just offering to help you with a targeted list and/or skip tracing it for you if you were needing help with that.

@Nathaniel Harris I would pull a Absentee with equity purchased in 2010-2012. Skip trace it and start cold calling the leads. If you need help pulling it or skipping it I can do both for you.

@Dan Wells @Al Noria if you are needing a list skip traced, reach out to me and I would be more than happy to help the two of you. I can do whatever size list you have in a 30 mins. I can pull phones, emails, most recent address, etc.

@Nathaniel Harris reach out to me if you are needing help with lists or skip tracing. If you have limited funds, cold calling would be your best plan of action. Let me know what you are trying to do and I can help you come up with a game plan.

@Kevin Moules if you us the Deal Machine app you can save your routes so that you can see which streets you have driven on previously. This will help you make sure you don’t keep driving down the same streets. You can also take a picture of the property with the app and then send a postcard with the picture of the house on it to the owner all through the app very easily.

I agree with @Jake S., midwest is always a great place to invest as the prices are lower and returns are higher. Are you looking for rentals to buy and hold or are you looking to do some fix and flips from out of state?

@Bethanie Blomeke There are a number of ways to find wholesalers. As some of the previous people have mentioned there is a lot of people trying to wholesale, but it's pretty easy to find the ones who are truly doing deals. It's all the unexperienced ones that give the good ones a bad name. 

Join your local REIA if you haven't already done so. I'm sure they have a Facebook Group as well. Get on there and you will see the ones who are posting properties frequently. Post something like, "who's the top wholesalers in this market? I'm looking to deal with experience wholesalers!" You will get a lot of responses. You can see who likes other peoples comments to see the ones who are truly doing deals. A lot of them will send you to their squeeze page to collect your name, phone and email. Just go through it and see if directs you to a section with deals. If they don't have any then they aren't very active.

I still call bandit signs every time I see them. Most of the people won't answer their phone, but generally will call you back. Just let them know you don't have a house for sale, but wanted to see if they have any deals you can buy right now and see what they have to say. 

You can also look on Craigslist. Try searching for investor terms to find people with houses for sale. Examples: fixer upper, ARV, as-is, investor special, handyman special, must sell, cash only, TLC, motivated, won't last, etc. if you are going to search on Craigslist you need to put a pipe character between each word. I created a link for you as an example: https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/search/reo?que...

Another thing you can do is just search "Wholesale Real Estate in Jacksonville" on Google. 

Hope that helps!
