you should listen to podcast 77 they have some really good tips on campaigns, leads, and such for wholesaling. I heard from there a few methods for voicemail and linking all your leads together. They were

Podio

Vumber

itduzzit

LOB

im not sure how you use each of them but the podcast explains them to you a little better.

Welcome and congrats on getting started. What does every investor want? More deals! If you present yourself as someone who can help with that you won't have a problem building relationships. Beyond that try to find common ground with whoever it is you're meeting. It's the first step in building rapport which is essential.

 Thank You Craig! I Appreciate Your Help.

Smile and introduce yourself. Ask them what their business is (fix and flip , buy and hold) and listen to what they have to say. Then ask them what areas they like to invest in, this will be important later. Once you've heard all about them, tell them that you are a wholesaler and that you would love to start running some of your off market deals by them. They will always say yes, because every investor wants off market deals, so then just exchange business cards. One thing that I always do is email them the morning after and tell them it was nice talking to them and ask them if there is anything else that they would like you to know about their investing criteria. After that, just match your deals with your buyers based on what they've told you. I hope this was helpful.

 Thank You For the Advice Zack! I Really Like The Idea Of The Follow Up Email. I Will definitely  keep this in mind.

 Thank You Frank. This is what I was thinking I didn't wanna put myself out there so fast and tell them I am a wholesaler right off the bat.

Hello BP. 

I don't even know how to start and it might be because this is what my post is about..Introductions. I am in the process of starting a wholesaling business and next month will be my first time attending my local REI meeting. From my understanding, REI meetings are a good start to meet investors and build my buyers list. The problem I am having is I am not sure how to properly introduce myself to investors. Can anyone give me any suggestions for good introductions that will make a good first impression? I don't just want to introduce myself, I want to be able to build bussines relationships for the long run and give off that impression. So face to face introductions and also introductions through email. Can anyone give me suggestions tips or any advice on this? Also any experiences of your own and what seems to work for you. Or even bad experiences you've had with people leaving off a bad first impression with you and what made you feel that way. Thanks in advance.

Wow yes definitely didn't take that into account. So basically they are not giving him "real" numbers on the rehab.

How is there no money to be made? If you do the math assuming 22$ per ever Sq Ft it comes out to 354k and the ARV is 410k. Lets say you sell it at 400k it will be a 46k profit. and in the worst scenario where there is unexpected expenses and labor 30k still sounds like a good profit to me. Im not a flipper though so that is just my thought.

or another option would be to send letters to all tenants with new owner new rules and state that no outside decorations on walls etc will be allowed. ? thats the best i could think of. hope that helps or at leasts sparks an idea. best of luck 

Im not a landlord but there has been violence among people over this flag so i would suggest you ask the tenant nicely to take it down for the safety of others,

My argument stands, as McAllen is 100k people, not a major metropolitan area.  There is a reason I don't invest in Dallas proper.  However, there was a recent post by Jon Klaus with a link to the 50 safest cities in Texas.  27 of the 50 were in the DFW metroplex.

I'm glad you like McAllen.  Again, as I've said what seems like 20 times now, it is my opinion.  An opinion is what was asked for.  

 An educated opinion I suppose not an ignorant one.
