Hello all, my partner and I are getting started in wholesaling and we are having a tough time creating efficient yet extremely motivated lists of sellers. We are also unsure on what method of marketing we should use. We have tried cold calling as well as mass voicemails, yet we have not had the best success. We have only targeted about 150 people. We are in the Cleveland market and we are wondering what the best method would be method and filtering to find the best list of sellers.

If any of you have any tips or tricks please feel free to reply with any beneficial tips.

I appreciate that, it’s an interesting view on how different holds should be used and such. I am saving, but I have a partner and would love to get into the game roughly 6 months from now. I am shoving information into my head and will be working towards a Real Estate license to further bolster my knowledge from different angles. Would you recommend a partner who is a friend. I have gotten mixed views on partnering with a friend.

@Kelly Claiborne I’m going to have to say realistically all of the above but I want to network/find a mentor in Los Angeles who is willing to take me under there wing. I’m a 19 years old woman about to be a Jr. in college and I’m wondering if I can build up my real estate IQ and do college at the same time? Lately I have been watching the bigger pockets videos, podcast, reading books like rich dad poor dad to change my mindset about money. Trust me it’s changed. The more I educate myself about real estate/money the more I loose interest in college. If your in college right now and learning about real estate are you also feeling this way about your decisions? Also for someone with ok amount of money in there bank would wholesaling be a good start into the field of real estate? BTW this is my first time actually engaging in the chat. :) thanks for reading this far hoped this helped someone.

Funny you say this I am literally in the same exact boat. Currently reading RDPD, listening to podcasts and going to be a junior. Planning on buying my first prop in May.

@Kelly Claiborne, I can only speak from what slowed me in doing my first deal, and that was money. I needed it and didn't have it.

I also have a fairly high risk tolerance, but when I was actually awarded my first deal, then the fear kicked in along the lines of "what did I miss?" "why did I get instead of more seasoned investors?"

Can you explain further on how you overcame the need for money. I am in a similar boat currently.

Hey everybody I'm curious as to your thoughts on whether or not I should get my real estate license. I feel as though over the long-run I will save money and be better versed on the different markets I could potentially invest in.

I’m 19, soon to be getting into the game. What are some tips and tricks that you all have to help things go smoother or get the most out of your money and investments.

For example: Going to Home Depot early to find the best and most dedicated contractors.

Thanks everyone
