 This is great information, I have heard of lots of agents in my area that do this. On the other hand, as a wholesaler you will not be able to control who calls you. I would not recommend this for a wholesaler that has limited time available simply because you have a lot of people that are upside down on their loan or very small amounts of equity. Essentially this will waste your time. 

However, this would be a great way to build a relationship with an agent by giving him/her all of your no/low equity referrals. This is worth thousands of dollars in marketing to them and will be worth it if the can sell it at full market value or work a short sale. In return you ask for the agent to help you run comps until you are more experienced doing it yourself.

@Kortez Walker: It comes down to whats more important, your time/ or your money. The way i look at it, i am okay spending the little bit extra on targeted marketing because i know once i close my next deal it'll be worth it. 

Thoughts?

Hey BP managers,

I would like to give a recommendation for the BP Podcast. I personally listen to the BP podcast every time in am in my car. I tend to have a hard time navigating to the podcast I am looking for.

I would like to suggest the following two options:

1. The ability to type the podcast number into a box in order to populate it. (Rather than searching through pages of podcasts to get the one i want.)

2. Podcast Categories - For example: If want to hear a podcast about direct mail, I want to be able to click/tap the direct mail category and have all podcasts that contain information about direct mail populate.

Best Regards,

Hey BP,

I am looking Real Estate Attorneys referrals in the Western Suburbs of Chicago?

I'd prefer someone who has experience working with wholesale transactions.

Please send recommendations and share good/bad experiences. 

Thank you everyone!

I am looking for Title/ Escrow companies in the western suburbs that are investor friendly?

Are they more commonly separate or together in Chicagoland area?

I need a company that has done back-to-back/double/simultaneous closings.

I don't want a company that will take 3 weeks to send me docs. 

Please send me referrals and share your good/bad experiences with companies in the area.

Great thread, this is why I love Bigger Pockets. We can sit down and learn both sides of the spectrum and be humbled each others knowledge and experience.

Hey BP

I am looking to outsource my wholesaling business. I have not been able to answer the phone much during my current direct-mail campaign, to be honest I haven't had much time at all. I work 12-18 hours per day 6-7 days per week. I have been strongly considering obtaining services such as PATLive, Podio, and a VA. I want to hear from other investors out there that utilize these services together with successful results.

I am looking for the benefits and limitations of each of these services. Please let me know if other investors have found a more automated way of running their wholesaling business.

Also, I made the mistake of not filtering by equity on my current mailing list, so I have been getting a lot of time wasting calls from people that are upside down in their mortgages. Is there a way to salvage my current list or should I just purchase a new one? I am also willing to get help from people experienced in direct mail campaigns. Please let me know any advice available.

I just want to know what works, and the budget it’s going to take, so i can sell the idea to my wife and get rolling.

Best Regards,

Good evening BiggerPockets,

I am looking to automate my wholesaling business. I have not been able to answer the phone much during my current direct-mail campaign, to be honest I haven't had much time at all. I work 12-18 hours per day 6-7 days per week. I have been strongly considering obtaining services such as PATLive, Podio, and a VA. I want to hear from other investors out there that utilize these services together with successful results.

I am looking for the benefits and limitations of each of these services. Please let me know if other investors have found a more automated way of running their wholesaling business. I am currently wholesaling out of the Chicago Suburb Areas, so if there is anyone interested in helping me out in exchange for a profit share, I am open to ideas.

Also, I made the mistake of not filtering by equity on my current mailing list, so I have been getting a lot of time wasting calls from people that are upside down in their mortgages. Is there a way to salvage my current list or should I just purchase a new one? I am also willing to get help from people experienced in direct mail campaigns. Please let me know any advice available.

I just want to know what works, and the budget its going to take, so i can sell the idea to my wife and get rolling.

If any successful investors in Chicagoland area are looking for someone to assist in their spare time for cash. That would be a tremendous help toward my Direct mail Campaign.

Thanks Everyone!!!

I learned about Google Voice after I bought a another phone line, but that's what most people use.
