Needs about 50k worth of work and still owes about 80-90k the comps in the area are going for $150k-$168 its a corner lot etc. i am very new very very new to wholesaling and this is one of the very first cold calls i made where the owner wanted to sell the issue is it not alot of room  fix and flip and most importantly get my fee so wanted to see of any other creative ways i can make things deal work for all parties involved.

Has anyone laid sod in cold weather?

Using things like direct mail, cold calling, door-knocking, bandit signs, advertising, etc. 

In my humble opinion these routes are much more refined ways to search than just randomly cold calling banks.  

@Dennis M.Winter is my only concern, although I’ve never had an issue renting in the cold months.

Hi Janelle, I definitely understand the concern (especially heading into the winter months; believe me, here in Chicago, it gets pretty cold during those months).

Repeat "no BS" customers seem to get better deals than randos cold calling 20 different hard money lenders.Other than that, there seems to be a dial.

Hope I can get someone soon, we are expecting out first cold snap tonight...

If not, you may be able to work as a runner, cleaner, apprentice, etc. for a contractor who remodels a lot of properties for house flippers.Another way I've seen people get started has been through helping investors generate leads - cold calling, door knocking, handwritten letters, etc.Best of luck to you moving forward!

I am trying to wholesale, I have been doing cold calls all week and striking out.
