To be honest I get a lot of business in New York for a few reasons. 1. High taxes in Long Island (in bad times it makes people noT be able to afford their mortgages) 2. Appreciation is high average home price in long island is about 500k 3. There is alot of equity because there is rarely new communities here. all that is a recipe for great off market deals. Let me know if you have other questions.

Have you signed up for both and tried it out yet? They serve two different purposes. Depends on your goals and strategy.

@Eric James I think because most people go about it the wrong way. That’s the difference why most people in wholesaling aren’t successful.

In my expertise VA always fill a void where we don't want to call and think they can do a better job. I've tried it all in all my years what works best is setting up an internet too so self running business of getting in front of motivated homeowners. In this day and age of the internet and social media marketing my site works the best. It's also not as easy as setting up a site, but in the end it pays off because you are building a business. Imagine when you train your VA and they quit. Back to square one. Just my opinion and expertise of what has made me successful.

Well, wholesaling is definitely a great in to real estate and yes can be very lucrative. The hardest part is figuring out unique ways to get in front of motivated homeowners. It also depends on your budget. You can’t get into buying and fixing homes if the budget and cash aren’t there. Wholesale is an amazing in between if you want to flip homes in the future. It also depends how new you are you might want to start with some YouTube’s.

Honestly there is no easy way. People can sugar coat it, but keep your goal in mind. The easiest way to think about it is how would you tell a friend about a deal. Always remember “people don’t care what you know until they know that you care” make them feel important and most of all be genuine.

Do you use any software to look up their addresses and phone numbers for the owners?
