Originally posted by Todd Nordstrom:Hi Tyeesha Bradley if the wholesaling is not working maybe you can give some details about why you think it's not working.The quality of the leads probably, on our letters we probably get maybe 5 calls a week and most of those aren't motivated to sell or if they are, they owe to much to property taxes - it's also really difficult to see if a property is a deal or just a waste of time.

On this scale you can probably do it in house fairly easy and not need to invest a ton of money in equipment either.At that volume you aren't going to be overwhelmed by the response and since you are buying for a buy and hold portfolio you can more likely find a deal than a wholesaler that needs to buy a 65-70% ARV less repairs (For flip quality) less the fee.Send out letters until you get a deal then stop if you aren't in the market again for a while.

Dell's other problem is that their customer service and quality deteriorated simultaneously.

Remember, in these old houses, lumber was milled locally, in many cases on-site, and frequently by hand, so why would you invest effort to mill a support pier that will be unseen in the basement when it makes no difference to its function.As Brian indicated, houses were built experientially back in {pre}Victorian era and lumber was not graded as it is today - mind you, much of the lumber was of a far higher quality than what we harvest these days.The key thing to look at is whether these unmilled piers are set directly in the soil or if a footing (likely stone, but possibly concrete) was put underneath it.

In my area of GA generally you do not find that in quality areas.

My personal goal is to offer affordable, safe and quality properties while making a profit.Thanks againRanae

It's really hard to predict when a card is going to give you offers, but I've noticed over the years that the quality and quantity of the offers diminishes as you leverage up more and more.

I'd rather not, but if it'll get me higher quality leads then I will.

You need to spend some quality time discussing all the possibilites before you put in the first dime.

Ask the specific questions to their references related to performance on quality, time and budget.
