Thanks guys, that really helps. I'm sure I'll be laughing about this in a year :lol:

Thanks Jeff! I'm sure you are all right about that. Presenting myself is something I'm working on. I'm sure the confidence will come much more easily after my first deal. Till then... I'll keep everyone posted.

Wow thanks Curt! You wholesale a lot of bank reo's? Never thought about partnering up like that. So I wouldn't even find the deal? Just kind of renting out the buyer's list in a sense?

Thanks Will! If the end buyer bought the LLC, would that be something that they would have to maintain/pay yearly fees on etc? I know in at least some states they charge an annual fee to have an LLC open.

Ha! Thanks Scott I'll check it out. I've heard that too. One strategy I've heard works pretty often is buying it through a land contract as the beneficiary, and assigning the benefical interest in the property at the closing. Haven't tried it, just heard it works. Any thoughts on that?

Ya know what, that actually does help. I think I have been overcomplicating the whole thing. Thanks Nick.

Point taken Nick, but I'm talking about getting to the point of having the email address to mail it to. Of actually branding myself and selling that brand to experienced investors as someone that can help them. Know what I mean?

Hi all! I'm trying to build a buyer's list, and was wondering what is the best way for a new wholesaler (never done a deal) to approach a buyer to be on your list? I'm sure the good buyers are bombarded with requests to join buying lists all the time, probably by people with more experience and systems already in place. I want to sound competent and eager without coming off like I'm an old hat at this yet. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.
