 All are through direct mail.  I have used Listability for my leads.

Unlicensed co-brokering is NOT legal in FL if you don't own the contract. 
I never could understand what makes most of these frauds feel ENTITLED to broker without a license. I turn at least one or two in each week to the state.

BTW--here is bad news for a lot of the unlicensed broker frauds. This is Florida statute.

475.43 Presumptions.—In all criminal cases, contempt cases, and other cases filed pursuant to this chapter, if a party has sold, leased, or let real estate, the title to which was not in the party when it was offered for sale, lease, or letting, or such party has maintained an office bearing signs that real estate is for sale, lease, or rental thereat, or has advertised real estate for sale, lease, or rental, generally, or describing property, the title to which was not in such party at the time, it shall be a presumption that such party was acting or attempting to act as a real estate broker, and the burden of proof shall be upon him or her to show that he or she was not acting or attempting to act as a broker or sales associate. All contracts, options, or other devices not based upon a substantial consideration, or that are otherwise employed to permit an unlicensed person to sell, lease, or let real estate, the beneficial title to which has not, in good faith, passed to such party for a substantial consideration, are hereby declared void and ineffective in all cases, suits, or proceedings had or taken under this chapter; however, this section shall not apply to irrevocable gifts, to unconditional contracts to purchase, or to options based upon a substantial consideration actually paid and not subject to any agreements to return or right of return reserved.

How long did it take you to gather a list of 500 buyers? Also what kind of direct mail methods do you plan on using come March?

 Yes, I have.  

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "co-wholesale", but if you are ready to go, but just don't have some cash, have you considered writing your own letters?  How many letters or post-cards are you looking to send?  Do you have a list of addresses?  You might be better off getting your list now, cleaning the data and starting to send some letters out on your own.  March is right around the corner.  Good luck!
