Ok great thanks. @Marvin McTaw I appreciate it

Hey guys, Can anyone help me by telling me what the best way to find the ARV or estimated value of a FSBO property since they aren't listed on the MLS typically? How do we know we are getting a good deal on one?

Hey guys, I'm looking for some guidance in regards to marketing. I generated a list of pre-foreclosures in my area, and it's not really big (maybe 200 people). I am starting my first direct mail campaign and was wondering if my list is too small to start sending stuff out. If not, what are some good BP posts and/or other resources I can refer to for direct mail copy and how to target my list? I'd greatly appreciate any personal input anyone can provide as well. Thanks!

@Mark Nolan thanks Mark! I've already begun!

welcome David! I am a newbie and fellow memphian as well. If you're interested in sharing some ideas for starting out and potentially working together, shoot me a message and we can link up. Good luck to you man

sounds good to me man! Just keep me posted

thanks @DouglasSkipworth! I see you are in TN as well. Do you know of any good meet ups or groups to get involved in that would help build more connections in the biz? I'm joining the MIG this weekend, but I was wondering how I could meet others actively investing in Memphis 

hey @Mike Maxon,  good to meet you man. It's awesome  to see young guys with so much entrepreneurial experience. I'm a newbie real estate investor as well,  also 26 years old, and I actually live in Memphis! Born and raised so I know the area very very well. I'm looking to partner on some wholesale deals so maybe we can work together in the near future. 

Hey guys, 

I'm Nate, and this is my first forum post . . . and I haven't seen many things as cool as this.  Anyway, I am working full time and just starting out in real estate investing.  At this point, I have chosen wholesaling to be my first strategy.  However, my goal is to complete the best exit strategy for each particular deal, whether that be a wholesale, flip, buy and hold, whatever.  So my first question is, is this tailor-made exit strategy thing doable at the very beginning?

I know this requires exceptional marketing and a plan.  I need some help with that.  I'm thinking of starting with yellow letters to absentee owners and probates in my neighborhood in Memphis, TN (I heard this on a couple of the BP podcasts).  But what should these letters say, and where are some good list sources?  And which tools provide the most efficient way to get the message out to absentees and probates?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Nate
