Let me illustrate:Your current approach:Step 1: Look at 100 housesStep 2: Make offers on 10Step 3: Maybe get a counter offer from 1 motivated sellerCompared to the approach of virtually all successful investors which looks like this:Step 1: Find 100 motivated sellersStep 2: Create solutions for their specific problemsStep 3: Qualify the properties and probably buy at least 50% of them

Has anyone heard of/used the USPS for their marketing approach?

I purchased the book of all parcels, went through by zip code and identified the ones I was interested in (over 100) and watched as the auction date approached and they were all satisfied and taken off the auction list by the time the auction happened. 

I have been approached by a client has 13 homes for sale.

For all of the reasons cited in this post, and many more, we always advise our clients and customers to take a belt and suspenders approach to these issues.

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.

How should approach this deal?   

________________________________RE: NCOne question I have as a “newbie” is trying to figure out if this seller-financed approached is directly in conflict with the community of realtors and brokers out there.

Travis - Thats a great approach.

If sellers arent saying yes to you then it is your approach.
