Hello @Matthew Rolf, I am active a bit further south in the central Fl market near Tampa, and we go up to Orlando as well. Are you interested in those areas? Let's connect and see if we can work together.

Hello @Michael Clark,

I would recommend trying to get a hold of them via Direct Mail, and try to also Call/Text them as well. 

Mailbox Power is a great tool for direct mail, you can customize post cards or letters and add graphics / images as well.

@Oladimeji Sonibare Yea I've been wholesaling for about 3 years now. I got my license about a year ago to give myself other options when it comes to handling leads, along with the MLS access. How about you?

Hello @Oladimeji Sonibare,

The best way to wholesale a Seller Financed deal is to negotiate the deal with favorable terms, then work your assignment fee into the down payment.

For example, if you agree with the seller on a 10k down payment, you can assign the contract to an investor with a 15k down payment, and the additional 5k would be your assignment fee. 

Post: Zillow leads/Facebook ads 'reviews'/opinions?

Hello @Stefanie Bergmann,

As far as Zillow leads, I would not recommend allocating any money here. They are very expensive, and Zillow will sell the same leads to you and 5 other agents, so they are not exclusive to you.

As for Facebook Ads, a lot of people complain and say they don't work, but they typically don't give them enough time to see results. I will say you will get a lot of False leads from FB, but they are so cheap that the volume ends up making up for it.

I run Facebook Ads for several Agent clients, and we are getting buyer leads for around $5-8 a piece depending on the market. It is more of a long term play with FB ads, as you typically only see about a 1% closing rate from these leads. But if you calculate the numbers to where you are spending about $500-1000 to close a deal, it is very affordable compared to other marketing methods.

It is all about the follow up systems and staying top of mind with all of these leads, as they are typically cold leads that are a few months out from making any type of decisions. 

Post: Letters vs. Postcards

Hello @Robert Burns,

We do a lot of Direct Mail marketing, and I would say I don't think Postcards vs Letters make a whole lot of difference. 

It is more about mailing the proper list, and catching people at the right time. Direct Mail is more of a long term play, and you must be persistent with your campaigns. Hope that helps!

Hello @Dylan Brown,

Are you looking for Homeowner Data with skiptracing for the phone number, or warm leads that have shown interest in selling already?

My company can provide you with the data if needed, and we also have a CRM system that can help you with your outreach and follow up, send me a connection request if you would like to discuss further.

Post: Dealing with DNC Restrictions

Hello @Robert Burns,

We offer a marketing service for Direct to Seller marketing for about 40 Investors and Wholesalers currently, as well as do our own Marketing. Some of our clients scrub their lists ahead of time to make sure they do not have any DNC people on their list, and others just market to them regardless.

I would say it might be better to be cautious and try to avoid them if you can, but I have yet to have anyone have any repercussions with reaching out to DNC numbers. I would just make sure you do not continue to market to anyone who tells you to stop.

Hello @Rei Julian Pornobe Teodoro

I would say the first step would be to get in touch with Investors in the areas you are offering your services. There is a few ways to do this: Network within Facebook groups, Pull a list of Investors from Public records, or go to local REIA groups and network there.

I would recommend having a professional website as John mentioned to run Paid advertising through Google and FB ads, and also have a cold outreach strategy in place to reach out to Investors to offer your services to them.

My company can help you in both of these endeavors, feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss further!
