Welcome to the BP community! I am GR as well. I went to the GR REI this month and met some great people.

Good to hear the stories. I am starting out as well and it can be discouraging when you talk to several people and come out with no deal.  Gotta keep moving forward.  I appreciate those who share here on Bigger Pockets.

Welcome to BP, we are neighbors, right down the road in GR.

I am a newbie @Andrew S. and I just started mailing yellow letters.  However, if someone were to call me I would definitely call them back.  I believe it is just common courtesy on top of me spending money to send out the letters.  I am with you, I don't understand.

Welcome @Account Closed .  I am a newbie, but welcome to BP.

Thank you so much @Shvonne Craig.  I appreciate your response!  I am going to visit Realquest express and Eppraisal.  I did look at Zillow and Trulia.  

I do plan on going to my next real estate investment meeting.  

My wholesaler friend said the same thing, if you are not embarrassed by the offer it probably too much.  I am still trying to wrap my mind around sellers, selling for low amounts.  However, I know that it has to be happening because of the success stories I have heard.  I believe I just to have to hang in there.

Thanks again.

Welcome Jen! Wish you much success. I am new to wholesaling in GR as well. My goal is to make it to the next REI meeting.

I did ask the advice of an experienced wholesaler. He is the one who told me to go with the $20,000. I don't have access to the MLS. I am wondering if I can get an accurate way from another source. I know that I should look at square footage, bedrooms, and bathrooms, within a .5mile -1 mile radius.

I have not been out to the property she reported to me that it didn't need any updates other than cosmetic, things like granite counter tops.  She did not know the age of the roof.

I recently sent out my first campaign letters.  I received my first phone call today.  It is a lady who owns a property with a tenant and wants to get rid of of the house.  She told me she had a lot going on in her life right now and didn't have time to deal with the house.

The ARV is around 80,000 per zillow and around $65,000 on realtor.com. She threw out $40,000 as a figure but then took it back because she didn't know how much the property is really worth because she bought it as a short sale a few years ago.

I spoke to someone and they told me that I should offer $20,000.  This seems low.

All advice welcome as this could be my first deal.
