Quote from @Melissa Nash: I get that this is probably a post to engage in conversations.... but I will play this game.

Cody sure knows marketing as I am now in his marketing funnel and have had 1 conversation with his sales department.

If you're looking to have a LTR cash flow immediately in this market, that is a conversation for another time/post! 

Also interested in agent referrals, a whole other ballpark I have not began to look into.Question for anyone who cold calls: What's your pickup rate and overall conversion rate?

Contact the tenant, have a conversation about retaining a portion of the deposit (probably going to have to cut them a break), get them to agree, put it in writing for both parties to sign, and send them the remainder.

Instead of taking bits and pieces of everyone's information which will vary greatly by municipality, consult with a local contractor who specializes in basement conversions.

Once we get through this high-level conversation, we can determine if wholesaling is the right activity to leverage to build your ideal stream of income. 

This model works for me but it isn't for everyone.As Jonathan mentioned, have multiple conversations with agents/brokers, look beyond the "pitch", and just pick someplace where you feel you'll have the best shot at learning the business.

Just tell the tenant that every time this happens they will have to pay a plumber to come and fix it.Now can we stop having this conversation?

I hope others chime in on this conversion.
