Hi everyone, I've been attempting to land my first deal  for almost a year now and I'm unsure of what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone direct me to a better path? I've tried all of the basics such as driving for dollars, direct mail, bandit signs ,etc. Please can anyone advise.

Wholesaling is very difficult to do consistently. You need consistent deal flow. Spend a lot on direct marketing and have consistent buyers list

  Hi Caleb, thank you so much for responding. Yes I corrected it lol, I believe I was typing to fast.  I'm working on building a better buyers list and I've started a direct mail campaign for 500 absentee owners, I send out yellow letters and postcards etc. Not to many responses.

Do you also target your list based on equity?  Absentee owners with large equity in the property might be more responsive.

Yes, I choose 70% to 100% equity. Will I need to choose a different strategy or a different marketing area? I'm unsure of what I am doing wrong.

It would be helpful if you say exactly what you have tried when you say you have tried the basics.

Have you tried driving for dollars?

Have you purchased a list?

Have you run a targeted direct mail campaign for 3-6 months?

Hi, Brian, Thank you so much for responding. Yes, I have tried driving for dollars . I've purchased a list from listsource and ran a direct mail campaign for around 5 months. I've used yellow letters, postcards, bandit signs, etc. I've tried mailing to absentee owners and pre foreclosures. I've also tried craigslist and I'm working on social media advertising. I'm updating my websites and I've joined local REI meetings but I cant seem to land anything.
