I would have to say, based on my experience, cold calling may not be dead but it is sick. I make an average of 75-100 calls a day at my job(sales) and will likely have 5 or fewer actual conversations. However, I also send emails to every person I call that has an email and get, on average, 15 replies from them. Cold calling works but in this age of technology I think there are better ways to reach out to people.

Now with that being said I do get returned calls often. What I have done is comprise several stock voicemails I will leave each with just enough information to intrigue the recipient. I rotate the voicemail I leave and never leave the same message twice.

Thank you all for the welcome.

Hilary, I will have to look you up if I branch into Philadelphia proper. Right now I am focusing my research and business on Chester and Lancaster counties, but may look into Philadelphia once I gain more experience.

I am holding it. It required very little to rehab to get ready, mainly cosmetic. I haven't learnt enough to start flipping yet but plan on trying that later this year or next.

Mainly looking into SFR... Evetually I would like to move up to multi unit properties but I have some things to learn before I take that leap.

I just bought my first property in a rural area. I am by no means an expert but what I looked for while researching rural properties were the local schools, proximity to larger towns and rental market in the area.

Hello BP, my name is Ryan Craig and I have been stalking these forums for months. I finally decided to take the plunge and become an active participant.

I have already learned a lot and look forward to gaining more knowledge and sharing in my experiences as I start my journey into REI...
