Here is a good place to start. This guy is from California doing the deals you want to be doing.

It is a BP Podcast. Here's the link.

Goodluck,

Brock Laramee

Another question for BP,

What happens if someone cannot find a buyer to assign the contract to? 

Does this person just exercise their option to walk away from the deal because of some contingency? Does this happen without harm?

Thanks,

Brock Laramee

To all on this discussion! 

I would love to hear your opinions on some ideas I've written down. These are notes I've written for myself today. Today, Grant Cardone's 10X book inspired me to apply his principles to my future wholesale business. These are some ideas I wrote down (rough draft notes). 

Tips on Expanding my Wholesaling Business. 

1- Get obsessed! Bring donuts/send flowers/handwritten postcards/anything to eviction attorneys all attorneys etc. Follow up with them. Tell them what you want motivated sellers (their clients) and what your company is about. Possibly pay them referral fees. 

2-Hire VA to do all of my automatic posts on social media. Have them send out posts 24 hours a day. Twitter, facebook, linked in, google plus, Pinterest, the whole 9 yards. Become omnipresent. Also, have the VA take care of Email campaigns and follow up. With this, I can focus on personal visits and driving for dollars.

3-Over deliver and overperform expectations. Tell them you can offer in 24 hrs and close in 7 days. Even if it seems like a lot or problematic (too short of time) these are good problems to have. 

4-put an ad in the newspaper. 

5-Message every single person from Tallahassee on BP. All 500 people from Tallahassee. Get them on your team or at least get yourself known. 

6-Another job for the VA- Give him/her a list of the top 100 business quotes for use on twitter. Since he/she will be making sure your social media is omnipresent, you will be attracting people to your business. Feather in the business quotes with other info about my company in social media. They will follow because of the inspiration and also notice what you are about.

7-Use automated systems like Podio and Vumber to make your life easier. 

8-When you get a contract closed, get raw testimonials of the sellers experience and download it to youtube. from here you can link it to your website and social media. 

These are some random drafts/notes I wrote for myself today. Let me know what you think. If you can add to this list go ahead! I'm up for criticism :)

Cheers,

@Brandon Shoate

Thanks for your post. I believe I got the contracts that I need to move forward thanks to some people here on BP. Brandon, out of curiosity, how do you feel about bandit signs?

Would you use them? Or do you find them wrong? I know 

@Joshua Dorkin doesn't like them haha.

Cheers,

@Wendell De Guzman

You inspire me to keep on moving forward until wholesaling works for me. Thanks for that. I hope to ask you more complicated/sophisticated wholesaling questions later on!

Thanks,

Brock Laramee

@Tim Hall

Thanks again for the comment. I'm glad you said to keep it simple because there is so much information out there. I could easily waste time educating myself when the fundamentals of wholesaling are laid out here before me. 

Looking forward to working with you in Tallahassee.

Cheers,

@Mike Jordan

Thank you. I added that to my list of places to help with leads!

@Mike Jordan

Wait a minute your right! 

I see what you were saying. Could you give me an example of when you would use this site and how you would use it? If you don't mind.

Thanks,

Brock Laramee

@Mike Jordan

Thanks for the input!

I was just checking out the site but I noticed it's $30 to look up a person. Do you pay that everytime you look for someone? 

Best,

Brock Laramee

@Wendell De Guzman

Thanks for the input again. I wrote down a bunch of notes from your two posts. They were full of good content for me. 

I'll probably begin doing the free ways you're talking about. Later on, I will do more of the yellow letter. Thanks!

Cheers,
