If you're looking to do this all yourself, the most practical advise I would give you is:- Make tons of cold calls to qualified leads - You can buy leads and/or drive for dollars.- Follow up with those leads and create a system as you go along - Automate your processes so that you can reach more people and convert at a higher rate.- Find cash buyers - you can find them right here on BP.If you're looking for mentorship:- You're off to a good start with this post!

You're in a cold climate there so no telling where the shut off is.

I also told them that it is the middle of cold and flu season and my family has also been sick for over a month which we are every year.

As a new agent I'm looking for guidance to better my lead conversions/cold calling skills.

But long story short, it is abandoned.Looking for someone with cold calling experience to help me with a dialog or advice on the best way to approach the seller.

There is some vacancy in warm belt states but more overbuilding in cold belt states where cap rates can be higher but you have to be more careful where you buy.Farmer Fred types tends to like Dollar Generals as they collect a check in golden years and tend to not care what happens with the estate after they kick the bucket.

My advice: Talk to as many people as possible, sit 5 open houses or more per week including weekends, team up with an investor that you can add value to, cold call all FSBOs in your area, be competitive on your commission rates, & get on a big team with a 50/50 split that will train you!
