Even when we manage to reach a working voicemail,owners often assume we are just another "we buy land" serviceoffering far below market value.Given thesechallenges, we are eager to learn the most effective strategies for locatingpotential sellers and establishing a professional, trustworthy connection thatencourages serious consideration of our offers.Telephone/voicemail is informal, hence casual, hence “we aren’t putting much effort into this.”

What market are you referencing?

A sellers market in general.

Hey @Ashley Kroft I love using Pricelabs feature of creating a comp set because you can really drill down to the finer details of what others are doing in the market, in your specific area.

Furthermore, @Dave Meyer has a YouTube show/podcast on market trends for your reference.

It might be more a matter of fine-tuning your listing than just a shift in the overall market.

I am considering getting into this space (looking at some courses), but worried that its too late, and that deep local market knowledge/understanding of buyers/connection with developers etc is required to make this work, which only incumbent/long term investors will have and would be hard for a new entrant starting from scratch to catch-up...is my hypothesis valid in your opinion ?

How true is this, and how could that affect my real estate strategy if I were to enter the Texas market as a Washington State resident?

There aren't any good wholesalers in the Cleveland market.

To find value on residential 1-4 unit properties you could ask your realtor to run comps or complete a CMA(Comparative Market Analysis) on a subject property once you find it.or you can find the value on your own.We use prop stream to run comps.
