Not sure that marketing is the best approach since the budget is very limited and I am looking at several out of state markets.Thank you

I’m not suggesting you only approach people you know (at first, we don’t personally know those we loan to), but if sending letters and postcards didn’t work, why would anyone spend time viewing a video or downloading a PDF file, Brian?

A friend of a friend approached me with an offer:He will get me leads on properties that I have for free!

I think we can accomplish our wants for $60,000 - 70,000.How can I approach the seller and work out a mutually-beneficial deal for both of us?

Have you tried this approach?

There are pros and cons to both, but at the end of the day its all about your approach and your strategy.

Originally posted by Carolina E:Lucy Rowens it's a scam, but I would be curious how he got your info.The days of sending blanket "spam" messages are dwindling and methods to detect and discard them are making this approach less effective.The "new generation" of scammers/spammers are using "big data" to mine many social media and on-line forums to build profiles on individuals.

But if you pool their money, you're much closer to "selling securities" and all the baggage that entails.So, if you're trying to do fix and flips, and this person really, really trusts you and you're confident you won't hurt them, then doing this as a personal loan may be the right approach.

I would definitely not recommend the guns ablazing approach, as you might shoot your eye out!
