Send a different marketing piece every 3-5 weeks for 5-7 weeks is great.Keep your message simple in the beginning and expand or elaborate as you continue to send to those on your list.Be specific in your lead search.

You will hear people say that if you try to make a deal out of a non deal, your problem is not having enough leads.  

@Trey Brooks, if you'd like to bird dog for me, I'll be happy to show you the ropes in exchange for leads and walk you through putting the deal together on each one you bring to me.  

You need 100 leads in which 10 will be worth your time to try and make a deal...

I'm starting to get a small stream of leads coming in, but I am in need of a real estate agent with access to the MLS in Washington state.

The 2% rule is a bad one in my opinion ... it will tend to lead new investors straight into the heart of the biggest ghettos of the midwest, deep south, or locally.

Dialogue and networking can lead to some really solid outlets when things get crazy in the world of land lording.  

We'd like this to be a way of generating cash flow that can help lead us to financial freedom.  

Well anyway, I get a lead from my pest control guy about some boarded up houses on the other side of town and decide to go check them out and figure I'll keep my eye out for other houses too.

Basically, if you can get leads, and then present it to a successful wholesaler, he/she may go 50/50 with you On the deal.
