That sounds like a smart strategy, Michael @Michael S.

Quote from @James McGovern:

@Zeeshan S. The court publishes a list of upcoming foreclosures. Attempting to work with current owners is a great waste of time. Too many are obdurate 


 Makes sense

Quote from @James McGovern:

@Zeeshan S. No such thing as quick flips. I focus on foreclosure properties where I can seek ejectment quickly 

@James McGovern, that sounds like a well-targeted strategy! How are you typically generating leads for those foreclosure properties? Do you lean more on SMS, cold calling, direct mail, or something else entirely to reach pre-foreclosure sellers? Would love to hear what’s been working for you!

SMS Marketing is still one of the most effective channels for lead generation in wholesaling!

Instead of immediately running numbers, try to engage the sellers more before giving an offer. Call the lead and never throw offers on texts. 

If you're open to it, I’d be happy to connect and share some additional insights based on campaigns that have worked well for others. SMS marketing is powerful, but small adjustments can make a huge difference!

Quote from @James McGovern:

Holding is incredibly risky as the market is forecasting significant declines 

Holding can definitely be risky with the current market conditions. Out of curiosity, are you focusing more on quick flips or other short-term strategies to mitigate that risk?

Hey @Jack Phillips, Follow Up Boss could be a great fit for your needs! It lets you call, text, and email leads directly from the system, keeping all communications organized in one place. It’s perfect for managing wholesaling leads efficiently. Let me know if you'd like to hear more about how it works

Hey folks,

With all the market shifts happening this year; rising rates, more inventory, and tighter margins. I’m curious:

What’s been your best-performing strategy so far in 2025? Are you focusing on wholesaling, flipping, buy-and-hold, or something else entirely?

For me, I’ve seen a surprising spike in interest for land deals lately; less competition, faster closings. But I’d love to hear from you:

What’s working for you, and where are you finding the best opportunities?

Hi @Lynnette Petersen Welcome to BP and wholesaling. It’s a great journey to be on.

One approach to building a strong buyer list is leveraging platforms like BatchLeads to identify cash buyers actively purchasing in your area. You can filter for those who've recently closed deals to ensure you're targeting serious buyers. Text marketing has also proven highly effective in reaching these buyers quickly and efficiently. Let me know if you’d like tips or resources—I’d be happy to share!

Thank you for sharing with me a little bit about these two really great tools, Zeeshan S.! I will check them out! I would like to talk more about it all with you through the link that you provided.
best regards,
Lynnette 
Let's have a zoom session and I can give you a complete walk through n how these tools work

Quote from @Catie Fihn:

@Zeeshan S. I would absolutely LOVE to use texting, but I thought it was illegal?  Or at least a gray area of legality?  If I am misunderstood about that, then I would absolutely incorporate SMS into our strategy.  And yes, I would greatly appreciate any insights into how combining the two can boost our lead generation.  Thanks!

Great question @Catie Fihn! SMS marketing is perfectly legal if done the right way as compliance is key. Platforms like Launch Control or Smarter Contact ensure all campaigns adhere to A2P 10DLC regulations, making it both effective and safe.

Texting allows you to reach sellers directly and generate faster responses compared to traditional cold calling. It works wonders when combined with other methods like cold calling—you can text leads who didn’t answer your calls, creating a seamless follow-up system.

I’d be happy to walk you through how to set up a compliant, high-converting SMS strategy. Let me know, and I can share some stats and tips that’ve been a game changer for others!

Welcome to wholesaling—it’s great to see your enthusiasm! For finding off-market homes, I’d recommend leveraging tools like BatchLeads or PropStream to pull high-equity or absentee owner lists in your area. Pair this with SMS marketing or targeted cold calling for fast results. Closing deals quickly often comes down to building rapport with sellers and having a solid buyer list ready. If you’d like, I can share more strategies that’ve worked for others—just let me know
