David,  Thanks for the reply.  One correction, I'm not just starting out.  I've been investing in real estate since 2008.  I bought some rentals and then shifted into wholesaling lease options with Todd Toback and Joe McCall's courses.  I've been focusing on wholesaling for the past 9 months.  I agree marketing is the key and consistency is something I've not done well.  Recently I've hired a marketing person to handle my direct mail.  I'm also setting up some TV ads and looking at billboards.  I also need to get more bandit signs out there.  Although I probably should hire someone because it is not an activity I find myself doing on a regular basis.  Thanks for your input!

Yes,  I have implemented many of the ideas I found in the wholesaling programs I have purchased and am averaging about 1 deal per month.  My goal is 4 deals per month so I'm always looking for ways to improve what I am doing.

I've bought many wholesaling programs and recently Sean Terry's Flip2Freedom Academy was recommended.  I would appreciate any feedback from BP members who have experience with this.  Thanks in advance!

I'm amazed that you would put Joel Osteen and Al Gore in the same sentence.

Antonio, Thanks for the reply!

I'm considering using TV ads in my local market for motivated seller leads.  I've read various articles with pro and con positions.  As always, I truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge and unbiased feedback I get from BP's subscribers.

I am stepping up marketing for my wholesaling business and I am considering investing in some billboard advertising.  I would appreciate feedback from investors who has used this medium and the effectiveness of this marketing technique. 

I just put a house under contract and found out it's in a flood zone.  How will this impact my ability to wholesale this property?

How important is national branding and associating with a national brand, ie..We Buy Houses, Homevestors, We Buy Ugly Houses, etc? I want to bring my REI business to the next level and I focus on wholesaling. I'm currently doing about 1 deal a month but my goal is 4 deals a month. I am considering buying a license or franchise with one of the national companies to use their branding to separate myself from all the "I Buy Houses" local guys! Is it worth or should I just take that money and increase my marketing?

Chris, Thanks for the response.  I used to have the check made out to me but several "gurus" I've following said the check should be made out to the title company. 

I will resort to having it made out to me.  Also this particular buyer is now off my list regardless of how much deposit he wants to give me.
