It's not the right business to make money fast, although I would argue that generally speaking, none are.

I'm doing wholesaling and am trying to close some deals fast, looking for people who want to close deals fast.

It takes time and perseverance/consistency.But isn't the whole point of targeted lists to find people that NEED to sell their house fast?

@Sam Erickson  I know it goes against the BP grain.. but when your in a market that has so few 3P sales the last thing is letting people know about it.. next thing you know some money bags shows up and starts buying every deal and you never get another one.. this happened to many of us in Atlanta.. and of course I was a carpet bagger from Orygun.. but I was buying 3 to 6 a month in Atlanta for our portfolio the next thing Blackstone and other hedges show up and bid everything up and we were put out of business as fast as we started I think I got to partake for about 6 months.. ended up buy 54 homes. when If the competition had stayed low key and local I would still be at it..

It's like they say "you can have good, fast, or cheap.

(I don't remember what she said).So basically, she owes XXK on taxes, and then the city dumped 90K  into the property (YY years ago) ... and forgive me it went by really fast...  

Are there guidelines or hard and fast rules?

It looks attractive at the start but can get out hand fast.

Sometimes not asking fast enough can make a buyer lose out on a deal.
