@Roy N.

Single Family Absentee Homeowners is the bulk of our target market however we have successfully found leads, contacted, and purchased condo units and other types of real estate using the Yellow Letter marketing campaign.

Using the city records is your best friend when trying to find out owner information. Additionally, keep in mind that you can also send individualized and customized letters to those owners if you write them directly.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Steve

@Benjamin Eccles Great question! This question can be difficult at times but once you get your verbiage down it becomes natural and non-threatening. One thing that has really helped us find our target market sellers is using a little secret called Yellow Letters.

Yellow Letters are a handwritten yellow letter that basically says whatever you want it to and that fits your buying model i.e.

"Hello my name is Steve. I drove by your house and might be interested in buying it if you are interested. I am not a realtor; I am a cash buyer who can close within 5-7days and would be happy to discuss in more detail if you are interested. Please contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx if you're interested. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you soon. Steve."

Works like a charm for us and this is one of our main ways that we find great deals and it is non-threatening and leaves the ball in their court to call you... and everyone that calls you is a warm lead instead of you chasing possible leads all day long.

Works great for us and I hope it works great for you to.

Cheers!

Steve

@Rebecca G. Thanks for the welcome! I'd like to believe I'm getting younger but now just realized that it just hides all of the wisdom I've gained that you now see at the office hehe.

Hello all!

I believe in financial freedom for all who want it for themselves and their families if they apply themselves, work smart, and work hard to get there.

I am a short and long-term investor in real estate ranging from Wholesale Deals to Fix & Flips to Full Turnkey operations with in-house property management. Learning from formal investor training, real deals, and great mentorships I have been part of many successful real estate transactions and partnerships.


I've always believed if you want to get somewhere find someone who has been there and soak up the knowledge and wisdom they give then work hard to get there. I am humbled and grateful to have been trained by some of the best and still being mentored by real estate professionals and friends who have and are making millions in their real estate niches not just strategies for financial gain.

Ohio Cashflow: The Ferrari, Louis Vuitton, and Rolex of Turnkey without the price tag.

As the VP of Acquisition & Sales at Ohio Cashflow I work very closely with Engelo Rumora and the rest of our team here in Toledo to deliver some of the best turnkey products in the nation. It's an absolute pleasure to assist and advise investors on how to wisely invest their hard earned money based on their goals and unique circumstances.

I look forward to meeting you on here or in person. 

Cheers!
