It is what it is, and you have to be creative and persistent to make it work. 

I'm going to remain persistent on contacting the owner, and hopefully I have a good learning experience and hopefully my first wholesale deal.

Create your vision, calculate the numbers and stay persistent with your goal.

Persistence is the key!!

So I feel like I've handled the major objections to trying me out, if I can just get in the door.Here are some of the things I've tried (with varying levels of persistence, I admit), none of which have proven all that useful so far:Cold calls - Some aimed at agents I've identified with some level of interest in online marketing, some aimed at agents who I can tell have good photos, etc.Emails - Same targeting as the cold calls, just trying the approach first with email.Post cards - Using Zillow, identifying properties for sale and sending a post card directly to the homeowner with a follow-up email to the agent.

Persistence really pays off. 

And yet you persist in your belief that Google is as good as law school.

Persistence pays off & im sure you'll have more than 20 by the time you're 25.
