Door knocking is a GREAT WAY to get a deal but be prepared to have numbers like 1:1000 (that includes no answers, straight no's, and vacants)

Have you thought about having a female at least go along with you & be the face of the first contact? 

Knocking for flips definitely works but it's a little bit difficult because we are looking for houses that have enough equity and maybe distress that allows them to forgo some of that equity. 90+% of people WON'T be in that situation. But if you were door knocking for listings that you could list maybe the few houses that would be looking to sell in the near future would have value for you still. And if you happen to come across the unique situation we need as flippers then that'll be great too. 

Now if you are strictly doing flips then it may be more effective to only knock on doors that are one of the following:

Sheriff sale properties

Pre foreclosure 

90 day late 

2+ year late taxes 

Code violations 

Owner occupied evictions (usually multifamily) 

Expired listings 

FSBO

This is more time consuming and requires route planning but for flips this is the list of people who have a higher chance of having distress & would give up equity to solve that  problem & close quickly. 

Are you door knocking for listings or flips? 

Monday through Friday 4pm to dark 

Saturday 10am to 6pm

Sunday 1pm to 4pm

@Chinmay J. is the rehab 100% covered?

@Ryan Igbanol is right. In Philly is probably one of the toughest markets out there right now and getting worst with Than Merrill coming here every 3/4 months. 

But people are still making TONS of money in this market so its money to be made. 

@Matt Lefebvre are you able to approve request into that group? 

Philadelphia is a VERY rough market but people still find deals. So Houston may be similar. 

The question is how many pieces are you sending out per month in addition to door knocking and driving for dollars. 

In Philly,  if you're just mailing absentee, I think it has to be more than 4K per month if not more than 6k. Other list (tax lien etc) aren't quiet as much required mailing but still as competitive so you have mail frequently (biweekly vs monthly) . That's me speaking for Philly. If Houston is ANYTHING like Philly you definitely may want to see about increasing your marketing budget 

Spencer if you don't mind me asking, which coach did you go with?
