use a dialer that rotates through different numbers for you.  You can typically dial 100 a day before getting marked as scam likely.  so if you are calling 700 numbers a day you would need 7 numbers to rotate thru. ninjadialer does this for $49/mo

the flat fee website wont provide the contact, but you can search the homes they have listed that look flipped and look up the owner on the tax website then skiptrace that information

If you have a solid deal you shouldn't have an issue getting buyers for it. If you are trying to build a buyers list first before having a deal, you could join the local REIA group, meetup .com groups, you could look on flat fee listing websites for houses that have been flipped and skip trace the sellers.

Are you trying to wholesale or are you trying to be a Realtor?  There are specific courses/programs/coaches for getting listings as a Realtor.  I'd look into those if that is what you are trying to accomplish.

Hey Michael thank you for the advice. If I may ask, why stick to it for only 90 days? What happens after that if you do not find a property? Should you switch up your strategy?

I'm not saying only do it for 90, be prepared to do it for a minimum of 90 days.  Most people get discouraged after a week if what they are doing doesn't provide results so they will switch to something else for a week or two and then switch to something else.  They don't give it enough time to produce results.  So if you go in with the mindset that you will try it consistently for 90 days then you are going to get some good results.

Cash for keys is definitely a good strategy when trying to get Tenants to leave.  I'd have a conversation with them first and see what their expectations are before you offer anything.   Let them do the talking and see what they say.  You might save some money this way.

Congrats!  on to the next!

You will want to check the specific laws for the state you are doing business in.  But for sure you want to make sure you are not marketing the house as for sale.  You would be marketing your contract you have with the seller as for sale.  It would be good to work on building your buyers list so you can just email them directly without having to put the contract online.

Are you looking to wholesale yourself or are you trying to buy properties? There are multiple avenues to finding off market properties. It's best to pick a strategy and stick with it for at least 90 days. You could drive for dollars, send mailers, cold call, sms blast, run ppc ads, etc. Typically if you are finding distressed properties those won't qualify for traditional financing such as FHA or VA. You may be able to get conventional financing on some of them depending on how much you put down.

What price are you marketing it for? If you truly have a deal then you shouldn't have an issue with finding buyers. Make sure you have joined all the groups on facebook for pittsburgh real estate investors and the local REIA. There should be a fair amount of buyers in those groups and if you post the deal and the numbers are good you should have them reaching out to you to buy.
