Our very first introduction was with a company called Trachte that actually just did an in person training that really dug deep into costs of development, what to look for in land and optimization of existing facilities.

I have NEVER received a call, much less outside of normal business hours.

Should I stick with mailers or explore cold calling, PPC, SMS, etc.?

When I call the company what questions should I ask in order to know what I have to know if whether I would want to buy or wholesale (I've done neither ever) but just to get kind of a script or advice on what to say.

Then, call em, schedule a time to talk.

@Sam Hudacek the problem with this method is that the people you want to reach out to down the line won't pick up your calls!

Look for REIA (Real Estate Investor Association) meetings or local Facebook groups where investors share deals and strategies.One of the quickest ways to learn is by offering to help experienced wholesalers with things like cold calling, driving for dollars, or follow-ups in exchange for mentorship.

I reached out to a local insurance broker, who came back with a quote that seemed very high to me ($3,800 yr), from a company called Foremost.

Even after trying to pick the better ones.Now I know I can search online, I can use a realtor, I can send out a mail campaign, I can cold call, I can go to auctions.Are there any other strategies you would recommend to find deals?

We were able to register our OpenPhone number through the signup process so that our calls go through and are not being blocked.
