@Tom Conant not to be a cold shower but why would someone who already has more to do then time to do it give away time to something that offers only the hope of future returns?

Only cold water and common area electric is paid by owner, all other utilities are paid by tenants.

it was so cold I couldn't wait to get home to South St Petersburg. you and i met by accident when my partner cheryl collected your tenants rent mistakenly, thinking it was part of the portfolio she had just taken over. remember that?

What have you been doing for cold calling that works effectively?

You can search for the names of the target homes on your list on the local assessor's database and then look up phone numbers on the paid version of White Pages, or some similar service and start cold calling.

Has your business had any success with cold calling?

This would be things like MLS,  cold calling and mailing neighbors to let them know the house is going up for sale (and asking if they want to sell), as well as getting in touch with lenders who can help co-market the property.

The cold reality is many deals you believe you’re 100% certain to obtain will often fall through.Even though many sellers (naively) request them, don’t rely on proof-of-fund letters as any kind of evidence your lender will perform at closing. 

Hey @Josh Banks, Know your numbers cash on cash return, Cap RateLearn your local market (network with local investors, maybe find a mentor).Learn how to estimate rehab costs, I recommend J Scotts booksGet a wholesaling contract, find a local closing attorney that works with investors/is an investor.Market to find deals, cold call, drive for dollars.Answer your phone when people call.Follow up with leads until they sell.Sign a contract with your seller.Send your contract to a title company, they will do a title search.Market your deal to buyers, this is one of the places networking will help you.Close the deal.

He said when it was warm enough to have windows open it was fine but now that it's cold and he has the windows closed , it goes off.
