Perry Apawu only you can decide how much is TOO much. Best advice I can give is continue to do both wholesaling and the carpet cleaning until the success of your wholesaling business demands more time and attention than your schedule allows. At that point I would probably make the move to full time (or as your only part time gig)

Thanks Gary Parker for that clarification. I was not thinking of the multiple sibling scenario.

Rick Harmon how often are you "touching" your prospects after they initially show up on the probate list?

Keep up the good work!

This is my first probate mailing. What common motivations are you coming across that the person who is living there would need to sell for a discount so that I can be prepared to touch on those subjects?

M Ness with $20k you could certainly outsource your marketing efforts to procure a deal. You would need to speak with whomever you use for your marketing to make sure you are targeting prospects that match your investment criteria. (ie. condo) With some time and persistence you should not have a hard time finding a good deal where you can purchase using cash, seller financing, or a combination of the two.

I know Jerry Puckett does this for other investors here on BP so you might check out his services. (not affiliated)
