@Andrew Hodgson  thats because wholesaling is just a moniker  just like turnkey is a moniker.. but we know what i means.. wholesaling means assigning contracts.. when in fact a true wholesaler closes on the house then resells what they own.. a broker makes a middle man fee. the issue is you show me one wholesaler and we will use this interchangeable as assignor.. that just advertises a contract and does not describe the home have a website with pictures of hte homes mass media marketing all sorts of things that is exactly what a realtor does.

I think there's pros and cons to both, but to be clear in other scenario I want to lead or be actively involved in finding and managing the deal so I can begin to build up that muscle.

Horse racing is taking off in Mass because of the new casinos.

So it's OK to float from one conversation to another until you hear (or see) some kind of commonality you can use to strike up a conversation.For example, if you float around and hear someone say they're from a town in Western Mass, and you're from Western Mass, you can wait for a pause or until they're alone and then use that to start a conversation.

Also consider checking out the local real estate investor group RIREIG that meets every month in Warwick, or other groups such as Black Diamond REI in southern Mass which meets twice a month.

@Luka MilicevicI’ve read about people using programs to call multiple numbers at once to leave a mass voice mail.

In Mass there are a few operators that train/jv with students and might be worth testing out on them as well. 

I would argue that if you're at the point of wanting to remove an income stream from your life the property has probably gotten to the point of mass nastiness, lol.If I have learned one thing dealing with 1,000's of tenants & 100's of evictions over the years it's that removing paying tenants from units is not a recipe for success.

I live in Winchester, MA (8 miles north of Boston). Interested to see if any local real estate networking groups? I owned props in the past and working on building a new portfolio.

and my buddy shot him.  1 round, center mass - hit his spine and that was the end of the bear.
