I realize this thread is old, but you know what? Things change. 3 years ago it would have been okay to let a call go to voice mail, look up a record or two and call back armed with some information when you're good and ready. But not anymore....not in 2017. With so much money flying around the market and with the competition faced TODAY, if you are not using live answering, if you are not using any sort of answering service, you will likely get hosed.

Why? With the success of HGTV and DIY shows, EVERYONE thinks they can flip a house :-D. There are more people doing RE marketing and trying their hand than ever before. Most do it very badly, substituting guess work and cheap materials, hoping to wing it....fake it....till they make it.

As far as I'm concerned if you aren't getting to your leads quick enough, you are flushing your lead gen budget for no good reason. Tripping over pennies on the way to dollars is never a good idea. If you want cheap, sure, try one of the read a script check a box services. But if you want the best, then there are services like Call Porter.

I have been working with them since the start and they have made both me and my clients a ton of money. Their reps KNOW real estate. That's all they do, all day long. Within seconds of having your prospects on the phone, they have already looked up property info and started your due diligence. They sniff out motivation, overcome objections, and set appointments. You go make offers.

If the question is "who is the best", and "best" is defined by effectiveness and return, Then CallPorter.com is the best in the business.

[Disclosure: Extremely satisfied client]

Did you actually get to meet with Gaylene? I have seen her go in and out of the office, but usually deal with one of her subs.

Dee Warner, Scott Horne has an office in Garland, and can get you set up and educated properly with his sub to program. He'll give you all the docs (provided you never share them...stiff penalty for that) show you how to use them, how to negotiate the deal, and even provide a buyers list.

Other than non disclosure, the only caveat is that you must close each deal with his title company.

I am not affiliated with Scott in any way, but I did nearly go that route before I found my partner (Right here on BP)

Bill Gulley, you were indeed very close to spot on. Thing is, it would take way to much forum space to detail all the docs I use in my sub to packet.

Seller Disclosure form
P&S Agreement (contract)
Sub To Addendum
Seller Disclosure Addendum
Sellers Disclosure (Trec)
Authorization to release Loan information
Homeowners Cancellation Form
Notification to Lender of Change of Address of Borrower
Limited Power of Attorney
Special Durable P of A for Real Estate Transactions
Affidavit of Marital Status
General Warranty Deed Subject To Existing Mortgage

So it's easier to point the OP in the right direction.

@Cameron Tope thank so for the advice I've come to that conclusion about not getting caught since I do have a sideline number I put on the signs , and I only have two methods of advertising right now. Bandit signs and door knocking as soon as foreclosure list is posted. I don't have 1,000 yet but I plan on putting up 100 signs every time I get paid until I'm at 1,000 or so. Any tips for door knocking ? 

 Sorry for the delay.  I haven't.  What sort of mining are you doing?  From what I see, mining takes a lot of time to stay up on everything.  Very not passive.  Thoughts?

Alan, 

I bought my first house in El Paso and currently reside in Savannah, GA. Both are great markets! I've got an AMAZING Property Manger/Realtor in El Paso who I can get you in contact with. He managed my property for 3 years while I was over seas and when my El Paso house tenant moved out, he helped manage a quick cosmetic flip and when we listed the property we had a full price offer in like 2 weeks. I can't say enough good things about Roberto! 

I am looking to connect with some local Wholesalers, General Contractors and Flippers in the El Paso, TX area. I have several questions as to particulars but the biggest one is how do i get in contact with these people? I am looking to try and test out my first flip sometime this first Quarter and i am looking for any help and connections that i can make. All suggestions are welcome. 

We’ve worked with Sabin Marquez at Marquis Lending (915)920-7223 and also George Van at VRealty (915)496-7661. We have a closer relationship with George but both have been great.
