Michael,

Thank you for the words of encouragement.

I was a bit disappointed I only yielded 3 actual voicemails out of all of the 50+ calls up until now. ( More hang ups have come in since I last posted).

btw, great podcast you had with Joe and Alex !!

Hey Guys,

I mailed 2500 "I want to buy your house" postcards to absentee owners last Friday.

The postcards hit today and I've received 48 calls. Three sellers left messages and the rest are hang ups. Two sellers wanted to sell and the other seller was underwater which I referred to my buddy who specializes in short sales.

Today was my first day speaking to sellers.

I pre screened and asked them questions and made 2 offers Today.

The sellers weren't really motivated since both of them owned the property free and clear and just wanted to see what I would offer. They rejected my offers and said they were firm on market value price.

I know the answer to the following question may be obvious , but what should I do with the 40+ hang ups?

Should I call them back ?? how do you recommend I approach the hang up leads?

I am assuming that they are not too motivated since they didn't take the time to leave a message.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Luis

Interested to see how your efforts turn out. I will be doing my first postcard direct mail of about 400 addresses within the next two weeks.

Any other wholesalers here from San Diego?

Hello everyone,

My name is Luis from San Diego California.

I co-own a small starting construction development company emphasized in single family residential properties.

I have been researching the web for about a month now on how to begin investing in real estate. I am extremely interested in "wholesaling" especially since it's a good way to get my feet wet.

I've been reading up on all I can find and seem to have a grasp on the basic concepts however information on the general concepts is abundant but I am missing the details. I've also been listening to a lot of videos from the Flip-Man. You might have heard of him.

I would like to ask you experienced wholesalers on the forum if there is any book, course or learning tool that you recommend I use for studying and learning the subject in order to obtain the "know how" and specific details of wholesaling. If possible, anything you used that helped you get started.

There is just so much on the web and so many different avenues to choose from that it gets frustrating not knowing where to start.

I'm very excited to have found this forum and I appreciate any and all feedback as well as information you'd like to share. :)

Thank you in advance.

Luis

Congratulations on having the courage to GET STARTED!!

Looking forward to seeing how your first deal pans out.
