I hope its a good idea! That is what I am working on now! Haha. 

@William Allen just searched and off one post in one of my fb groups added 8 buyers to my list!

Wow! These are great tips. Never even thought of getting on another wholesalers list. Will be trying these. Thank you!

@Brian Ellwood I am starting out in wholesaling for the sole purpose of building up my rental portfolio. Currently have 1 rental, working on financing right now to get 2nd. Goal is to add minimum of 1 a year until husband retires from USN. Did wholesaling not help you get ur rentals?

@Taylor Hudgins PM sent! 

I post on Craigslist that I am a wholesaler in the area looking to connect with cash buyers... i post 2-3x a week and get multiple responses.. then I reach out and get the criteria they are looking for (areas, type, etc) and tell them as soon as i get something that fits their criteria i will let them know

I think about this too! I notice the houses where the bins sit in front of the garage instead of being pulled to the side of the house or back yard... like a neighbor is pulling it up for u. And then it sits there for days. Obviously could be many false positives, but just starting out in wholesaling so I add them to my list anyway. 

Hi Alex!

I am in Hampton, VA. Just getting started in wholesaling as well. Currently have 1 rental and in process of financing the 2nd. Always looking to connect with other like minded individuals. I am trying to find deals now too. I just did a DM campaign of properties I found in NN and Hampton D4$. What area are you targeting?

We are currently in process of getting our current home set up for a second set of renters. Our first primary has been a rental since 2014. 

I agree the hardest thing is finding good tenants. If you have good tenants the rest is a breeze. Our first tenants had low credit, but I listened to their story and wanted to give them a chance... were late with rent the first month. Ended up evicting them maybe 8 months later. Our last tenants were amazing. The day after they moved in the guy stepped through a rotted piece of board on deck... laughed about it really cool. Only called for one other thing. Wish his job didnt move them. They were dream tenants. Just had a new guy move in in May... think I have had 10 service requests... but he pays on time, just calls for very little things. Have been debating managing our properties ourselves. We have management company bc we were not in same state for a few years, but now am back in same state. I think we will keep management team, especially since we want to purchase at least 1 a year. But if u go management team route, interview a few. 

Also, I agree... zillow is pretty on target.. also management team will help give you estimate of what things are going for.

Good luck!

I love cooking! I just got a ninja foodie and am cooking every recipe in the cookbook. Also love the beach. I can spend all day there. That is my goal, to be able to just work from the beach! Haha.
