Hey Drew!!  I'm an investor in Central NJ.  I'm working on building my momentum back and would love to be able to Birddog/Analyze for you! Let's connect!

Good Evening BP Family!!

I joined this amazing community a little over 2 years ago...jumped in to the deep end, worked it hard, and then we had our 3rd daughter, bought our new house and WFH created an environment where I invested ALL my free time in my family.  Baby is now almost two years old, wife quit her teaching job, and I've re-lit the fire in myself to provide a better life for my family and I.  

That said, I feel like I'm starting all over again...this post is meant to serve as a friendly reminder that no matter what you're going through, its ok.  Sites/forums like this remind me of that fact.  

I plan to jump back in to Wholesailing and SFH Rentals...hit me up if you are just starting out. I remember what it was like,

Good Evening BP Fam!

Wanted to get honest...

I have lost all momentum in my early days of wholesaling. I was doing really well 4 months ago...networking, analyzing, meeting with mentor weekly, modifying drip campaign, cold calling..I was sleeping, eating, drinking REI.

Then we bought a house, had to help our landlords sell their rental, had our 3rd daughter, moved, remote learning picked back up, house projects, middle of the night feedings.

I'm having an extremely difficult time getting started again. I know it's a mindset and a conscious decision to get back to it....

I'll be updating this post with my regained momentum.

Curious...for those who have lost momentum, what do you do to get it back?

Hey BP Fam!

Recently moved to Annandale and looking to meet up with some local investors to learn the market out here....anyone in Hunterdon County NJ?

I’m currently working on my wholesaling business. No deals yet but hooked up with a couple cash buyers.

BP Family!

I'm currently Wholesaling out of NJ for a cash buyer in NY.

Recently started my first drip campaign.  Started with an email on Sunday, cold called for an hour on Monday and Tuesday.  Getting my direct mailers ready to send tomorrow.

Plan to send another email tomorrow morning, followed with a RVM in the afternoon and then calls in the evening.

My question is regarding the frequency and type of communication.  I want to follow a process that has worked for others in the past and then pivot when needed.

Day 1: Email

Day 1+1: Cold Call 

Day 1+2: Cold call 

Day 1+3: Send direct mailer

Day 1+3 (AM): Email

Day 1+3 (Noon): RVM

Day 1+3 (Night): Cold Call

Day 1+5: Call

Day 1+6: RVM

Day 1+9: Call

is this too agressive?  Not agressive enough?  Don't want to turn off a potential lead by being "annoying" when I'm looking to be "pleasantly persistent

Check your PMs. 

So I'm working through my analysis of 100 properties, looking for my first deal. Using PropStream to generate leads and filter down comps. However, every so often, I hit a roadblock. When looking for ARV Comps, either there are none in a <.5 mile radius, and if there are, they don't match Bed/Bath.

Bottom line, when determining ARV Comps, I need help on the following.

Scenario 1: I have an ARV comp, <.5 miles, but it has one extra bedroom. Do I just take the price per square foot, multiply that by a decent sized bedroom and subtract that from the sold price for the ARV Comp?

Scenario 2: I have NO ARV comps is less than <.5 miles. But I do have multiple matching square footage, bed/bath, and have had repair work done. But they are 2-5 miles away. Can I still use them when determining my ARV on the subject property?
 

@Eric Ruiz I’ll be there! This 7pm Central?
