If you don't yet know how to do Wholesaling, send me a colleague request with your email address and I'll give you our 3-video WHOLESALE ACCELERATOR course for free (offer open to any BP'er).

Can I take you up on this offer?:)

Hello everyone, my names Jacob live in Denver Colorado and am 21 years old that's studying Physical Exercise. Im new to this site and real estate investing in general. I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad and it caught my interest right away. I have a passion for learning as much as I can and putting it into action. I am somewhat nervous about getting started and haven't exactly decided what I want my niche to be. I believe I want to go with wholesaling due to the low amount of money needed. Any tips or suggestions? All help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome Jacob! if you decide to do wholesaling make sure you have a targeted list. the first list i sent to was a list of 550 absentee owners and received 0 calls. I found out through bp that I was probably not the only one sending to this list. So i'm changing up my list to make it more targeted and also a little more personal mailing piece. BP will provide you with a lot of great knowledge on how to get started. Also, I suggest listening to all the podcast. I usually listen to them while I'm driving or doing work. Happy Investing!

My name is Robbie Knecht, I live in SE Wisconsin. I'm looking to work for a rehabber/contractor and help them while also learning. I have knowledge in construction and am a fast learner. If you know of any rehabbers/contractors that need assistance I'm more than happy to help!

The information for tax liens & code violations are available on milwaukee's CCAP. That's the courthouse records. They have tax lien along with code violations info all on their website.

would i be able to get a list from that website or would i have to look up each individual address in my city?

I visited city hall because it is right up the street from me and I like to talk in person. Once I get the list I'll start writing all the letters and get them in the mail asap. You have been a big help thank you!

Contact your local county and find out when the tax sale is and get a list of properties going into the sale. They may have a results list from previous auctions. This may be online at the county website.

I just got back from city hall and they said the would be able to email me a list. I also asked about code violations and the women said she couldnt just look up a list, she would have to search every property in my city and pick out the ones with code violations. Is there another way I could tell her or should I tell her id pay her if she could get me a list of code violations? Thank You!

@Robbie Knecht there are several things that are likely going on with your marketing. First, absentee owners are the lowest fruit on the direct mail tree. I'm not sure how competitive your market is but assume that most investors who are sending direct mail are hitting absentee owners. I'm not sure if your looking to wholesale, rehab, build, or do multi's so it's difficult to say what's a great list. Here are some options though:

1) Driving for dollar leads
2) Tax liens
3) Code violations
4) Absentee owners w/ 50% equity (this is a more targeted list than just absentee owners)
5) Probates
6) Non-arms length sales

The other items that could be affecting your response rate (or lack there of) is your mail piece. I've hear that postcards do work in some areas, but I've never received a good response in my area (high competition). I've used most of the options on the market but what I've found is that my highest response rate has come from mailers that are creative and different from what others are using. This allows you to stand out from your competition.

Hope that helps.

This is great advice! I live in Milwaukee county so its pretty competitive. I'm focussing all my attention on wholesaling. Would you suggest that I scratch the list i have right now of absentee owners and focus on a more targeted list? Also, how could I go about getting a list of tax lien leads? That seems the most interesting to me and most motivated. I am also going to start driving for dollars more. Would you be able to give an example of a creative mail piece? and is the piece a letter or postcard? I appreciate all your help Thank You!
