I see that you are just starting off so my advice to you is "Just go out and buy a property" and it is like clock work from there.This is how I started.I did everything that you did and it was a complete "waste of time'.So instead of "looking for customers" I "Became one" this is the best start if you want a deal you have to go out and find the worst looking house that you can find location does not matter either.You may have some rehab cost but consider this "The cost of doing business" after you have completed the work post an add in your local paper that just simply says "Newly renovated house will work with any buyer" and just sit back and watch the vultures come.Where you went wrong is that you did not think aout "who" your customer is it is called your "Target Market" and starting off it is other "Investors" .The "WE BUY HOUSES" market is "flooded" and you dont have the resources to compete first time out.So follow this and you should be good.GET THAT MONEY MAN!
