Thank you for the feedback yea I’ve seems that targeting the same list from different marketing methods is probably the most efficient way to use a list since different people respond to different methods. My plan is to get 2 flips then 3rd a rental and just cycle from flip to rental after that.

Hey BP community. so I tried the direct mailing to sellers and realized that it's a lot of time and work since I did all the work in house, and only got back one phone call from that the list that was only of 400.

since last time I've posted I've managed to save more money. I'm at 45k saved now, my moms flip is in escrow now and hopefully it will close soon. we have been putting offers on on market deals cash and raised the EDM and waived inspections except for foundation and major water damage and still get out bid. 

so taking everything into consideration I feel like I should spend more money on marketing and start to cold call while also sending more direct mailing and texting and getting a bigger list to do so. I don't know if cold calling and sending text messages in Illinois is legal so if somebody is already doing it let me know. and I also wouldn't mind interning or work for free for a wholesaler or real estate agent so if anybody needs help I am more then happy to help and so I can grow more skills and learn more how everything works. 

any feed back or ideas on if I should do something different I will appreciate it. any wholesalers also can add me to their buyers list send me a message so I could give you my email. looking in the south sub of Chicago for a flip under 150k thanks guys!

Hey guys my name is Julio I'm 20 years old trying to buy my first deal I live in Lansing IL and am looking to buy around the Chicago area .im not completely new to the game I've been helping my mom out for the last 2 years with her houses, help her out and we both learn together along the way. what I am going to do is start direct mailing because of the low inventory. I have a decent amount of cash in hand a little less then 33k can't get loans yet just got my first credit card not to long ago. So if I am to get a lead would it be good to find a partner or wholesale it to another investor? I would like to do a sellers finance but I do know that can be a little hard. Open to any discussions and ideas thank you guys!
