Trust me, almost nobody and no single thing is worth the stress of your peace of mind.This doesn't mean don't put an effort in, just accept what it is when the dice doesn't roll your way.

@Lamar AthillWhen it comes to Wholesaling it is important to understand that it actually revolves more about marketing then actual "Real estate-ing"you market for off-market sellers while market for buyers to get that spread.It is relatively easy to get into the field, but takes a bit of work to make it sustainable on an ongoing basis.I would say the first thing is to really understand the buyer criteria your markets and what houses are desirable and point your efforts there.

Your clients are motivated sellers.You can NOT convert people who do not want to sell  (below market value) into people willing to sell below market value.The mistake people make (constantly) is their efforts are based on forcing non-motivated sellers to sell, by constant harassment.This is wrong.Instead of mass mailing blanket mailing,  and putting your energy in finding random people and forcing them to become motivated by putting a ton of effort and money into follow-up, you need to focus on targeting the RIGHT people.People who are actually looking for your service.Hopefully, it changes your perspective and you can improve your business.
