This is a pretty straightforward question. When it comes to keeping your volume up on your wholesale deals who are your most reliable consistent buyers? Rehabbers or buy/holders?

Dev Horn thanks for the reply. Definitely going to consider all of your information. Just trying to keep all the cracks filled before I make an all out move.

I'm putting together a "first deal" strategy for getting my first wholesale. My intention is to launch this plan into action with direct mailer's to sellers starting next week. However, based on all of the preliminary research I've been doing the only thing casting some indecision in my head is whether I should.....

-Dive right in to finding motivated sellers and then deal with finding a buyer once I get the contract

or

-Defining buyers and their "specific" needs so I can go out and look for the seller with their requirements to have a better chance of closing fast

I certainly don't want to waste much more time and I have a gut feeling that simply jumping in and "doing" by getting some motivated seller marketing started is the right way to go. Then when the deal comes through I can just figure out the next issues when they arise.

What's everyone's thoughts on this? Which option would you focus on or did you focus on when you first started wholesaling? Thanks!!!

Paul

Wendell De Guzman Thanks for the response. I'll send over a colleague request. Perhaps in the near future we could collaborate a bit or if you have time meet up and introduce ourselves. Thanks again.

Great recommendations everyone. I'm starting out as well and for now I'm being as much of a sponge as possible. Dhane Crowley everything you just said is exactly what I'm doing. I'll shoot a colleague request over so that maybe we can use each other to collaborate on our findings and help each advise each other on appropriate implementation.

Welcome to BP! I'm 100% new to this game with a starting focus in wholesaling and then moving to rehab/buy and holds. Good luck in your endeavors and contact me if you'd like to collaborate and network!

I am new to wholesaling and am unaware of any roadblocks, regulations, and laws that may come up regarding the practice in my state. I would also like to use this thread as a way to reach out to other wholesalers in my state so that maybe we can start some preliminary convos and perhaps eventually create a networking/collaboration group.
